regexp search match string inside

patrickdrd

hello,
I’ve got this search regexp:

SRcv: ACKώΜ ΛΚΤΒ.*ΒΕ.*\*00

and I would like to match the text that is between “BE” and “*00”

for example in the string:

SRcv: ACKώΜ ΛΚΤΒ100540ΛΚΤΒ101938145503101028Ξ001Β10ΒΕ63076179590000000000100000000001000000000010000101000000173610004752183ΚΒΩΒΡΤΒΓΗΓΤΖΓΤ      ΒΒΕΤΖΤΧΛ ΚΥΒ.                           %%ΚΒΩΒΡΤΒΓΗΓΤΖΓΕ      ΧΥΒΕΡΒΒΡΤΒΓΕ ΗΒΒ.

@patrickdrd

Maybe try making your first .* into .*? to match a minimum amount, rather than a maximum amount?

Hi, @patrickdrd, @alan-kilborn and All

To select from the last string ΒΕ of the lines ( Greek letters ! ) till the string *00, use the regex (?-s).+\KΒΕ.+\*00
To select from the first string ΒΕ of the lines ( Greek letters ! ) till the string *00, use the regex (?-s).+?\KΒΕ.+\*00

Note that, if the string *00 ends each line of your file, you can simplify these regexes as, respectively, (?-s).+\KΒΕ.+ and (?-s).+?\KΒΕ.+

Best Regards,
