Using PCRE lib…wanting to look for a string of words up to a known number of whitespace.

i.e. 5 white space characters between tokens.

foo bar foo bar foo bar = between the first foo and last bar….there are 5 space.

foo     bar = this also has 5 spaces between the first foo and last bar.

Anyone have the regular expression to find both of these….and variations of spaces?

    \S*(\s\S*){N}
    

    where N is the number of whitespace characters you want. Note, also matches a string of N whitespace characters without anything in between them.
