I need a little Regex help. Consider the following string:
x..y..x..z. I want to match x..y and x..z separately. x(.+?)z matches x..y..x..z which is Not what I want. What Regex pattern would match only x..z?13 Replies

But that would match both
x..y and x..z. I want a Regex that discards/does not match x..y nor x..y..x..z, only x..zUnknown User•7mo ago

That would work for this case, but I see I might've made the example too abstract. In my specific case I have the following string:
I effectively want to match
Address: 456 Test Ave (Work). "x" is "Address:", "y" is "(Home)" and "z" is "(Work)"
[^x] wouldn't work in my case.Unknown User•7mo ago

Followup question: Apparently, the example above only works if there's a newline in the middle. When removing the newline, it starts not working again:
How would I fix?

It doesn't change anything, though

That seems to make it work. I ended up using
Address: ((?:(?!Address:).)*) \(Work\) to have $1 be just the full address. Thanks again!This thread hasn’t had any activity in 36 hours, so it’s now locked.
