Regex to consider non-alphanumeric character other than $

Question

I have a text :

Revenue: $12.9 billion
Regex=====>Revenue\W+(\$*\s*\d+\s*(\.\s*\d+)*)\s*billion

Now I want $12.9 in a specific group but by using \\W+ it takes ": $" after revenue. So I want to write such regex that it will consider all nonalphanumeric character except "$"

How can I do that???

Answer 1

A character class like [^\\w$] will match anything that is not a word character or $ . Also, there's no need to have \\s* twice together, or to have it appear after \\W+ (or [^\\w$]+ ) because the preceding character class will swallow up any whitespace characters anyway:

Revenue[^\w$]+(\d+\s*(\.\s*\d+))\s*billion

Answer 2

Revenue[^\w$]+(.\s*\d+\s*(\.\s*\d+))\s*billion

use this,

the . will match the unmatched $

$12.9 is captured in the first group
