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
