(Solved) RegEx Problem

06 Aug 2014, 11:36

Hi, I have a text below that need I need to match a sentence that contains that word "car".
This is the pattern I use (\.).*(car)(.*?\.). I use period (.) as the beginning and end of the sentence. But it matches more than just the sentence. It matches from the first period of the line, I need to match the closest period from "car". I use this site to practice http://www.regexr.com/.

Code: Select all

.  . . . . . . . ABC That. This <span> abc car.

This cat. That tree. This new car pool.

This dog. This plant.<b> This (something in between the) car.

Cats.<b> This old car can fly. Something. 

Sometext text text . The car is red..

This

Code: Select all

Regexmatch(Sentences,"\.([^\.]*?car[^\.]*\.)",out)
is the one I'd use.
I also use http://regex101.com/#pcre :P
