Try something like: "^([\w+]) ([\w+]) (.+)$"

Try something like: "^([\w+]) ([\w+]) (.+)$"

I think you need to escape the square brackets, otherwise they're
interpreted as a character set.

If Group 1 and Group 2 are consistently between square brackets,
something more like this should work:

"^(\[.+\])\s*(\[.+\])\s*(\w.+)$"

Yes, of course. My oversight.

Yes, that's a bit more flexible. Except perhaps the \w in the third
group. That means that the first character has to be one of A-Za-z_0-9.

"^(\[.+\])\s*(\[.+\])\s*(.+)$"

Hi, I am replaceing a big string using different regular expressions (see some example at the end of the message). The problem is whenever I apply a "replace" it makes a new copy of string and I want to avoid that. My question here is if there is a way to pass either a memory stream or array of "find", "replace" expressions or any other way to avoid multiple copies of a string. Any help will be highly appreciated

I have a regular expression (^(.+)(?=\s*).*\1 ) that results in matches. I would like to get what the actual regular expression is. In other words, when I apply ^(.+)(?=\s*).*\1 to " HEART (CONDUCTION DEFECT) 37.33/2 HEART (CONDUCTION DEFECT) WITH CATHETER 37.34/2 " the expression is "HEART (CONDUCTION DEFECT)". How do I gain access to the expression (not the matches) at runtime? Thanks, Mike
