Question

I need the regex expression gives to me the word before the : and all until a . The right output will be

['Socios: Norberto Alejandro PERONACE, 16/8/1973', 'Joaquin: jaja']

Here is my code:

if re.findall(r":", text):
    print(re.findall(r"\w+: \w+.\Z", text))
else:
    print("Match not found")
