正则表达式：句子开头的匹配词

Question

I am wanting to match all occurrences of a certain word (in this case "Jill") that start a sentence in the middle of a paragraph.

"Hello sample string. Jill is great."

Now the expression [.:?!]\\sJill\\b will match this but matches at the position of the full stop. Is it possible to match at the start of the 'J' in "Jill"?

I'm using the c# flavour of regex.

Answer 1

Try this. I haven't tested it yet. (?<=[.:?!]\\s)Jill\\b

Answer 2

您是否考虑过使用分组来捕获Jill？

[.:?!]\s(Jill)\b
