regex match after word
12,663
Instead of a positive lookbehind that does not allow unknown width patterns, you may use a match reset operator \K
:
^BEGIN_TAG:\W?\K.*
See the regex demo
Details:
-
^
- in Sublime, start of a line -
BEGIN_TAG:
- a string of literal chars -
\W?
- 1 or 0 non-word chars -
\K
- the match reset operator that discards all text matched so far -
.*
- any 0+ chars other than linebreak characters (the rest of the line) that are the only chars that will be kept in the matched text.

I would like to know how to capture text only if the beginning of a line matching a certain string... but i dont want to capture the begining string...
for example if i have the text:
BEGIN_TAG: Text To Capture
WRONG_TAG: Text Not to Capture
i want to capture:
Text To Capture
From the line that begin with BEGIN_TAG: not the line that begin with WRONG_TAG:
I know the how to select the line that begin with the desired text: ^BEGIN_TAG:\W?(.*)
but this selects the text "BEGIN_TAG:"... i dont want this only want the text after "BEGIN_TAG"
I am using PCRE regex
