How can I write a regex that matches the "e" trailings of every word, exept the "e" trailings of words with 2 or 3 letters?
Example:
abcdeeee: Full match for "eeee"
more: Full match for "e"
pie: No match
me: No match

1What environment are you executing your regex in? Both lookarounds and `\K` could solve your problem, but they aren't supported in every regex flavour. – Aaron Mar 15 '18 at 10:53

@mrzasa I have tried this: `\w{3,}.e*$` but this of course matches the word itself that has an 'e' trailing and has more than 3 letters. – adsip Mar 15 '18 at 11:00

@Aaron I am using it in a `replaceAll` method in Java. – adsip Mar 15 '18 at 11:03

A lookbehind as in L3viathan's answer would work then. Java doesn't implement `\K`. – Aaron Mar 15 '18 at 12:42
