Question

I have the following string:

"\t Product:         ces DEVICE TYPE \nSometext" //between ":" and "ces" are 9 white spaces

I need to parse the part “DEVICE TYPE”. I’m trying to do this with Regex. I use this expression, which works.

((?<=\bProduct:)(\W+\w+){3}\b)

this expression returns:

"         ces DEVICE TYPE"

The problem is here: Some devices have a string like this:

"\t Product:         ces DEVICETYPE \nSometext"

If I use the same expression to parse the device type I get this as result:

"         ces DEVICETYPE \nSometext"

How do I get my regex to stop when a \n is found?

Answer 1

Perhaps this?

(?<=ces)[^\\n]+

If all you want is what’s after ces and before \n that is..
