正则表达式查找名字基于

Question

Need some help with the firstname match based on search "Name" below the first line. Below 3 situations that can occur:

Mrs. Joanne Doe
Name detail

Jenni Doe
Name detail

Mr. John Doe
Name detail

This will solve the 2nd situation (^\w+)(?=.*\nName) . I need 1 regex that will cope with all the 3 scenario's.

Thanks!

Answer 2

You can use

^(?:M(?:rs?|(?:is)?s)\.?\s*)?\K\w+(?=.*\RName)

See the regex demo . Details :

• ^ - start of string
• (?:M(?:rs?|(?:is)?s)\.?\s*)? - an optional occurrence of Mr , Mrs , Miss or Ms optionally followed with a . char and then zero or more whitespaces
• \K - omit all text matched so far
• \w+ - one or more letters, digits or underscores
• (?=.*\RName) - a positive lookahead that requires any zero or more chars other than line break chars as many as possible, a line break sequence and then Name string immediately to the right of the current position.
