[sshitol (sush)]

Hi Team

“Market Announcement
20 November 2019 Market Announcement 1/1
ASX Limited ASX Customer Service Centre 131 279 | asx.com.au
Description

market.

I need to find words between “Description” and “Issued by”. This two words are always constant.

hi @sshitol

find the below regEx, it will help you to get the text between “Description” and “Issued by”

RegEx : (?<=(Description))[A-Za-z0-9\n\s\t]*(?=(Issued by))

I tried but its not working

[kadiravan_kalidoss (Kadiravan K)]

Hi @Ajju,

(?<=Description)([\S\s]*)(?=Issued by)

Try this.

System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Match(strInput,"(?<=Description)([\S\s]*)(?=Issued by)").Value.Trim

Check with this xaml, you need to pass this paragraph and the input from string and to string. you will get output string between those two strings/words.

Refer this post to extract words between two known words.

Extract word between two known words

Hi Is there any way to read a particular word which is between two known words with the help of regex? eg If input is Name ABCD Age, I need to extract ABCD. Instead of using substring function, is there any way we can utilize any regex?

Try to use split functionality with multiple delimiters

Hello @sshitol

(?<=(Description))[A-Za-z0-9\n\s\t]*(?=(Issued by))

the reason this code is not working is there are characters/words at every new line

So try this pattern
(?<=Description)([^\n]*\n+)+(?=Issued by)
and let me know if it works or not

[sshitol (sush)]

Its working fine. Is it possible to remove spaces come between sentences.
Output is coming like this.
"The securities of Millennium Minerals Limited (‘MOY’) will be suspended from quotation immediately under

Listing Rule 17.2, at the request of MOY, pending the release of an announcement regarding an operational

update."

Can we remove those extra spaces and get that output in single line

[sarathi125 (Parthasarathi)]

@sshitol,

Try with this line of code to remove extra spaces from your string, make sure there is no newline character, if newline characters are then we need to remove those as well.

Regex.Replace(yourOutputString, "\s+", " ")

[vickydas (vicky)]

Hello @sshitol
use the above code suggested by @sarathi125

if it doesnt work or if there are new lines which are not getting replaced just replace "\s+" from the code posted above with "\s+|\n+" and it’ll work.
