splitting a string in between some characters and escape sequences using a regex expression

Question

I would just like to ask some help in constructing a regex formula for this example:

Brgy. Captain : Kgg. Constancia M. Reyes\nKagawad : Kgg. Henry A. Artisen\n             Kgg. Juliana S. Santos\n                Kgg. Sonia C. Alzona\n              Kgg. Fernandito L. Perez\n              Kgg. Ismael V. Capunitan\n              Kgg. Gregoria R. Sanchez\n              Kgg. Nerisa Maristañes

I am using Java in Ecplise IDE. I just would like to get the all the councilor names and then ignore all preceding and succeeding characters. This is what I would like to get:

• Kgg. Constancia M. Reyes
• Kgg. Constancia M. Reyes
• Kgg. Juliana S. Santos
• Kgg. Sonia C. Alzona
• Kgg. Fernandito L. Perez
• Kgg. Ismael V. Capunitan
• Kgg. Gregoria R. Sanchez
• Kgg. Nerisa Maristañes

Is this possible in the first place?

I tried using this regex as i have a google chrome app then can test a regex formula but failed to match it: (Brgy. Captain :).\\\\n+(Kagawad :).\\\\n+

Answer 1

如果它将始终是Kgg ，那么这应该起作用：

(Kgg.*?)(?=\\n)

Answer 2

The answer provided by Justin Pihony matches all of the given councilor names, but the last one. Maybe you tried to remove everything that matches instead of preserving.

(\\n.*?)(?=Kgg)

This one is the opposite. It matches everything between. But for it to work you have to add another \\n to the beginning of the list.

For eclipse I can recommend you the following plug-in for very fast testing of regular expressions: http://myregexp.com/eclipsePlugin.html
