I am using Obsidian (which uses ECMAScript) with the Obsidian_to_Anki-Plugin and I have this page structure:
# Heading 1 ⤵
## Heading 1.1
Text of Heading 1.1
Text can span over multiple lines
Even more text
## Heading 1.2
Text of Heading 1.2
# Heading 2
## Heading 2.1
Text of Heading 2.1
## Heading 2.2
Text of Heading 2.2
# Heading 3 ⤵
## Heading 3.1
Text of Heading 3.1
## Heading 3.2
Text of Heading 3.2
# Heading 4
I need a RegExp that matches all ## Headings and Text of Headings that are nested under # Heading ⤵. The ⤵ should function as a kind of switch here. All ## Headings and Text of headings should be matched with capturing groups. So Content nested under # Heading without the ⤵ should not be matched. Hence the matched text should be:
## Heading 1.1
Text of Heading 1.1
More text
Even more text
## Heading 1.2
Text of Heading 1.2
## Heading 3.1
Text of Heading 3.1
## Heading 3.2
Text of Heading 3.2
Here's what I came up with regex101. My problem is, that this way only the first ## headings and texts get matched and I can't find a solution.
You might use:
(?<=^# .*⤵(?:\n(?!# ).*)*)\n(^## .*)\n(?!^##? )(.*(?:\n(?!^##? ).*)*)
The pattern matches:
(?<= Positive lookbehind, assert that to the left is
^# .*⤵ Match # and the rest of the line ending on ⤵(?:\n(?!# ).*)* Optionally match all lines that do not start with 1+ # chars and a space\n Match a newline) Close the lookbehind(^## .*) Capture group 1, match ## followed by the rest of the line\n Match a newline(?!^##? ) Negative lookahead, assert that the line does not start with # or ## and a space( Capture group 2
.* Match the whole line(?:\n(?!^##? ).*)* Optionally match all lines that do not start with # or ## and a space) Close group 2
