I know this is not a regex forum, however I had great assistance last time
and thought I would ask, since the regex is looking through an SQL
statement.

I was trying to parse a SQL statement and get all the tables used. I'm
actually doing this in Cold Fusion.

I have gone as far as this

(FROM | JOIN ).*(?<=INNER JOIN|LEFT JOIN|LEFT OUTER JOIN|AS|WHERE|ORDER BY)

I know I need to look for FROM or JOIN and get all text within INNER
JOIN,LEFT JOIN,LEFT OUTER JOIN,AS,WHERE,ORDER BY... there are various
others.

I have tried a forward reference however this does not work, I think it
needs to be between the .[^INNER JOIN|LEFT JOIN|LEFT OUT JOIN|AS|WHERE|ORDER
BY]* somehow!!!

Basically the regex should return TABLEA, TABLEB from:

Select *
from TABLEA
Inner jon TABLEB on tableb.columna = tablea.columna

Cheers,
Theo
