正则表达式以匹配括号内的两组字符串

Question

I have a block of text that includes the following:

race={ heat1={ names={ ALEX DAN PETER } } heat2={ names={ RYAN DYLAN } } }

How would I build a regex to get all of the heat1 names into group 1, and all of the heat2 names into group 2? I can't find a one-for-one question that's already been asked, and the closest I'm able to get is:

(?:names={)( [A-z]+ )

Which returns ALEX and RYAN in the same group.

Answer 1

With re.findall() function:

import re

s = 'race={ heat1={ names={ ALEX DAN PETER } } heat2={ names={ RYAN DYLAN } } }'
result = re.findall(r'heat[12]=\{ names=\{ ([^}]+[^}\s])', s)

print(result)

The output:

['ALEX DAN PETER', 'RYAN DYLAN']
