How do I match the following with regex?
Title1
......
Title2: Description
...................
Title3
......
I am trying to match Title1, Description and Title3. Using (?<=: )(.*)(?=\n\.), I can match the Description. I couldn't figure how to match Title1, Description and Title3 together.
Solution
In VSCode, you can match the strings by finding the start of the whole file or the colon followed with a whitespace:
(?<=:\s|^(?![^:\n]*:)).*(?=\n\.)
See the demo screenshot:
Details:
(?<=- start of a positive lookbehind (that requires its pattern to match the text immediately to the left of the current location)::\s- a colon and a whitespace|- or^(?![^:\n]*:)- start of the line that has no:after any zero or more chars other than:and line break chars
)- end of the lookbehind.*- the rest of the line(?=\n\.)- a positive lookahead that requires a line break and a.to appear immediately to the right of the current location.
