I have a long string in format:
"DD.MM.YYYY comments for this date ; DD.MM.YYYY comments for another date ; etc".
I want to split the string for array (date + description). I tried to split by using this pattern, but it matches the entire string instead of splitting.
(\d{2}[.]\d{2}[.]\d{4})[^(\1)]*
I can't split by ;
divider, because text can possibly include it.
Try:
(\d{2}[.]\d{2}[.]\d{4})\D*
This will match a date followed by any non-digit character.
If the description can contain digits, then try:
((\d{2}[.]\d{2}[.]\d{4}).*?(; (?=\d))|(\d{2}[.]\d{2}[.]\d{4}).*$)
This will match a date followed by anything until meeting a semi-colon followed by a space and a digit or a date followed by anything until the end of the string.
If you want to use the date as a divider (instead of the semi-colon followed by a space and a digit), then try this:
((\d{2}[.]\d{2}[.]\d{4}).*?((?=(\d{2}[.]\d{2}[.]\d{4})))|(\d{2}[.]\d{2}[.]\d{4}).*$)
