Feature 3042166 requested for coldfusion 9 was deferred as "NotEnoughTime" in 2014.
I would think it is time to revisit the issue since regular expressions are a powerful tool that is most needed in many situations.
Currently, coldfusion 11 throws an exception when trying to use lookbehind expressions: Malformed regular expression "(?<!^[\[])([0-9]{6,})".
Any workaround is extremely difficult if not impossible. Using external java regex libraries would defeat the purpose of supporting regexes in coldfusion.
More details are to be found in ticket 3042166.
