正则表达式将短语与空格匹配

Question

I have a line similar to the following:

DESCRIPTION RIGHT HERE   EA  005   1            1      0000001     04/05/16              008

I am trying to extract the phrase DESCRIPTION RIGHT HERE . The description is different each time so I will not know the length of it from line to line. However, there is always more than one space after the description phrase.

What regex do I need to use in order to obtain the description phrase from the line?

Answer 1

You could do it like this I guess.
Description to Description or end of string.
Answer in capture group 1.

DESCRIPTION RIGHT HERE\\s(.*?)(?=DESCRIPTION RIGHT HERE|$)

Answer 2

^([^$]*?)\\s\\s应该将所有内容都懒惰地匹配，后跟两个空格，这意味着您将只获得第1组中的描述。

Answer 3

Please try:

^(.*?)(?=\s{2})
