Pattern Matching : Need expression's help

Hi all!

 

I need your help about a pattern matching.

This is my text

TITLE1
Line 1 and some texts
Line 2 and nothing
Line 3
John DOE
Line 4
TITLE2
Line 1 and some texts
Line 2 and nothing
Line 3
Olivier
Line 4
TITLE2
Line 1 and some texts
Line 2 and nothing
Line 3
Moana
Line 4
TITLE3

 

And I want to get all between Line 3 and Line 4 from TITLE2 (Olivier;Moana).

 

I tried this

(?s)TITLE2.*Line 3\s?\r?\n?(.*[^\s\r\n])\s?\r?\n?Line 4.*TITLE3

 

But it return only "Moana" even if I selected all matches.

Hi Oliver,

This worked for me:   (?s)TITLE2.*?(?:Line 3.+?)(\w+)

Andrew,

 

Your solution doesn't work with a compound noun like "Jean Christophe"

You can replace the end of the regex (\w+) to match more than just a single word.
Options to try:
(?s)TITLE2.*?(?:Line 3.+?)(.+?)\n
(?s)TITLE2.*?(?:Line 3.+?)(\w+\s?\w+)
