How to write this in different regex flavours
- by taspeotis
I have the following data:
a b c d FROM:<uniquepattern1>
e f g h TO:<uniquepattern2>
i j k l FROM:<uniquepattern1>
m n o p TO:<uniquepattern3>
q r s t FROM:<uniquepattern4>
u v w x TO:<uniquepattern5>
I would like a regex query that can find the contents of TO: when FROM:<uniquepattern1> is encountered, so the results would be uniquepattern2 and uniquepattern3.
I am hopeless with regex, I would appreciate any pointers on how to write this (lookahead parameters?) and any differences between regex on different platforms (eg the C# .NET Regex versus Grep vs Perl) that might be relevant here.
Thank you.
