I want Regex to start at the first word/number that isn't blank. In my example below, I want to start at LG
. There are lots of other lines of a near identical structure I will also have to match through.
<div class="p13n-sc-truncate p13n-sc-truncated-hyphen p13n-sc-line-clamp-2" aria-hidden="true" data-rows="2" data-truncate-mix-weblab='true'>
LG 32MA68HY-P 32-Inch IPS Monitor with Display Port and HDMI Inputs
My Regex is.. (?<='True'>\n).*.(?=\n)
Rather than adding a lot of dots is there a way to start at the first letter/number/word for this line?
I believe [^\s]
should work but I can't get it working..
EditPadPro from JG Software is powered with a regex engine that supports infinite width lookbehind.
You may use a positive lookbehind that makes sure there is a 'true'>
substring followed with a newline and 0+ whitespaces immediately to the left of the current location. Then, you may just consome a non-whitespace char followed with any 0+ chars other than newline.
Here is an example:
(?<='true'>\r?\n\s*)\S.*
See the regex demo
If the char should be a word char, replace \S
with \w
.
Details:
(?<='true'>\r?\n\s*)
- a positive lookbehind that makes sure there is a 'true'>
substring followed with an optional CR and then an LF and 0+ whitespaces immediately to the left of the current location\S
- any non-whitespace char .*
- any 0+ chars other than newline as many as possible.
