Hello,

Please help with regex code to extract the text before a keyword and include the keyword in the output.

Sample input string:
This is a test.ca ABC123

Fixed keyword: “.ca”

Expected output: test.ca

I tried this: \b.*(?<=).ca
But it’s extracting everything from the start of the line until the keyword.

Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion. The period before “ca” is important to differentiate the keyword from other strings that could contain “ca”. This code doesnt work when I tried \S*\W.ca
