Hello

I was wondering how to match car and the rest behind car using reg.exp?

/car black bla bla bla

so i can handle "car" and "black bla bla bla" seperately afterwards

TIA
/Lasse
 
Hi Lasse,

It would probably be

^(car)([^$]+)$

Note: I don't really remember which of $ and ^ actually stands for the
beginning of line and the end of line. So you may have to swap these
characters to obtain a valid RegExp. My legend is:

^ stands for the beginning of line
$ stands for the end of line

Hope this helps.
 
hmm not sure either, but "car" can be any length and not just "car"

it's more like:

/ followed by a Word, then a space, then Word(s)

Then it would look like

^([a-zA-Z]+)\s(([a-zA-Z]+)|$)+

You might also like to use the ExplicitCapture option to have meaningful
pieces grouped. For example, the outer parenthes after \s are not a
meaningful capture by themselves, only the inner ones are.
