Im really struggling to understand regular expressions.
I have this string:
Windows SERVERMAIN 10.0.14393 Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Standard x64
I need to create two regular expressions.
The first one should return the part of the string after the second space and before the third space, so I am left with:
10.0.14393
The second one should return everything after the third space, so I am left with:
Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Standard x64
Is anyone able to help me with this, so far I have only been able to use:
\s+\w+\s(.*)
Which gives me:
SERVERMAIN 10.0.14393 Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Standard x64
Update 1 After the help from @rock321987, I've reviewed how I want to implement this.
I now have this string:
Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Datacenter x64 - 10.0.14393
Which I want to split into two groups:
Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Datacenter x64
10.0.14393
^.*?[ ]+.*?[ ]+(.*?)[ ]
^.*?[ ]+.*?[ ]+.*?[ ]+(.*)$
Regex 1 Breakdown
^ #Start of string
.*?[ ]+ #Match till 1st space
.*?[ ]+ #Match till 2nd space
(.*?)[ ]+ #Capture the match after 2nd space till 3rd space
Regex 2 Breakdown
^.*?[ ]+.*?[ ]+.*?[ ]+ #Explanation same as above. Match till 3rd space
(.*)$ #Match everything after 3rd space till last
EDIT: This can be done in single regex too if your tool allows
^.*?[ ]+.*?[ ]+(.*?)[ ]+(.*)$
EDIT 1: If you want you can use \K
too like
^.*?[ ]+.*?[ ]+\K([^ ]+)
