如何找到每个句子的最后一个词

Question

I'm trying to find all the last words from my sentences by regular expression

I found this one ("\b(\w+)\W*[,]$") but it only finds the last word of the last sentence.

These are my example sentences. I'm a beginner on RegEx can anyone help please?

Yasar Osman,32,usak,Kusmak

Ali Sonmez,kayseri,76,Kanser

Kemal Basici,istanbul,87,Kanser

Soner Mentese,istanbul,32,Oksuruk

Answer 1

what defines a word? let's say a word consists of an arbitrary number (but min one) of characters except for space, comma or asterisk. Then your word is [^*, ]+ . Now you want to find the last one.

The first capturing group of ([^*, ]+)[*, ]*$ is the last word of a text snippet. $ stands for the very end of the string. [*, ]* stands for an arbitrary number of non-word characters after the last word.

see regex101 to see how it matches your examples

or see this example of how you can use it in python:

import re

example = "Yasar Osman,32,usak,Kusmak"
re_match = re.search('([^*, ]+)[*, ]*$', example)
last_word = re_match.group(1)  # 'Kusmak'
