Hello all,
I’m able to select only single line, how to select multiple lines dynamically maybe till drill water as show in below example ?
it’s not selecting
still need to select multiple lines
Try this @Chethan_M1
(?<=Remarks\:\s+)[\s\S]*?\(recovered[\s\S]*
May be entire text will help me provide you regex @Chethan_M1
Hope it helps!!
Yes @Parvathy entire lines are getting selected, need to end the selection before Tubing Press S\S
Hi @Chethan_M1
Can you share this text. I will help you with regex
Try this @Chethan_M1
(?<=Remarks\:\s+)[\s\S]*?\(recovered[\s\S]*?(?=\s+Tubing Press L\/S)
Regards
can you share the input text
Sorry I can’t share as it’s company data
@tazunnisa.badavide Input it’s confidential
Hello @Chethan_M1
Please try the syntax (?<=AfterThisWord)((.|\n)*?)(?=TillBeforeThisWord) if you want to extract texts between two words that are spanning across multiple lines using RegEx
For example: If you want extract texts between Remarks and Drill Water, replace AfterThisWord with Remarks and TillBeforeThisWord with Drill Water as shown below
Yep this works fine I just removed last expression to match exactly, @Parvathy Thank you so so much!!!
(?<=Remarks:\s+)[\s\S]?(recovered[\s\S]?(?=\s+Tubing Press L) can you brief me this expression please
what’s the diff b/w .* & *?
Hi @Chethan_M1
→ .*: This is a greedy quantifier. It matches any character (except for line terminators) zero or more times, as many times as possible. This means it will match as much as it can while still allowing the overall pattern to match. In other words, it will match the longest possible sequence of characters.
→ *?: This is a non-greedy quantifier. It matches any character (except for line terminators) zero or more times, but as few times as possible. This means it will match as little as possible while still allowing the overall pattern to match. In other words, it will match the shortest possible sequence of characters.
If you find the solution for the query, please mark my post as solution to close the loop or if you have any queries, I’m happy to help.

Hi @Chethan_M1
(?<=Remarks\:\s+)[\s\S]*?\(recovered[\s\S]*?(?=\s+Tubing Press L\/S)
You have missed the / before S. Check with that.
Regards
pattern: (?<=Remarks:\s+)[\s\S]*?((?=\s+Tubing Press L\S)|(?=\s+Tubing Press S\S))
this expression is working fine both in regexr as well UiPath match activity
Thank a lot @Parvathy for all your value time and efforts!..
Hi @Chethan_M1
Perfect. So, the topic can be closed. Please mark my post as solution to close the loop
