Hi all,

 

I'm trying to make a pattern matching but I have 2 difficulties :

1. My search can have 1 or more lines,

          Example1 :

          Label: line1

or

          Example2 :

          Label: line1

          line2

 

2. My End can be different

          Example1 :

          Label: line1

          End1

or

          Example2 :

          Label: line1

          End2

 

I tried this (and it's working)

(?s)Title.*?Label:\s?\r?\n?(.*)End1  |   (?s)Title.*?Label:\s?\r?\n?(.*)End2

But my Title, Label and End are so long (more than 512 caracteres). I want to reduce the pattern.

 

Is it possible to have something like that ?

(?s)Title.*?Label:\s?\r?\n?(.*)     End1|End2

 

Thanks in advance.

Regards

How about this:

(?s)Title.*?Label:\s?\r?\n?(.*?)(?=End1|End2|End3)

From here, removing spaces and extra lines should be pretty straight forward. Just make sure you have "All mathces (as multi-value token)" selected

If you are just looking for the text between Label: and End do you need more than just:
(?s)Label:\s?(.*?)\nEnd

Hi Kentaro, thanks for your help. I'm going to try your last solution asap.

@Andrew, the values of "End1,2,3" are different. I picked "End" for the example but in the reallity, this is differents words

Example :

End1 = "NEW DOC" and End2 = "RELEASE"

I'm not 100% sure if this works but give this a try:

(?s)Title.*?Label:\s?\r?\n?(.*)(?=End1|End2)

Hope it works!

Hi Kentaro

 

Thanks for your help. I forgot 1 difficulty, my bad.

I can have multi values  (tokens) and your solution works for only 1 but not more.

 

 

This is what I need
