Question

Hey guys, I don’t know RegExp yet. I know a lil about it but I’m not experience user.

Supposed that I run a RegExp match on a website, the matches are:

Data: Informations Data: Liberty 

Then I want to extract only Informations and Liberty, I don’t want the Data: part.

Answer 1

1. Does Data: always appear at the begining of a line?
2. Can there be multiple spaces between the : and the next word?
3. Do you know about groups?
4. What do you want: lazy matching vs greedy matching?

If so, you can use (with lazy matching):

^Data:\s+(.*?)$ 

With character classes:

^Data:\s+(\w+)$ 

if you know that it’ll always be a word. Try this website.
