I am hoping someone can help me with this regex. I’ve only used it

  • 0

I am hoping someone can help me with this regex. I’ve only used it to collect single words in a string, so I’m not sure how to handle multiple lines and what look like ASCII characters.

Here is the text block:

However, I only want this segment:

There are also some special characters there that appear as weird question marks. I just don’t really know where to start with it really.. I guess it will have to look for ^Erreur, then grab the lines above and below it until it finds ^ with white space…?

Thanks

    I was able to get this to work with the following regular expression:

    Information.+recovery starts.+\n\n(?:.+\n)+(?:Erreur.+\n)+(?:.+\n)+

    Note: this requires the use of the “g” (global) flag (tested successfuly in JavaScript). Not sure which language you’re using, but it should have an equivalent flag.

    And yes, it’s extremely ugly :). Here’s basically what it’s looking for:

    • A line that starts with “Information” and includes the words “recovery starts”
    • Followed by an empty line
    • Followed by at least one generic line
    • Followed by at least one line that starts with “Erreur”
    • Followed by any consecutive, non-whitespace-only lines
