Since the background would be far to complicated to explain, I am writing Pseudocode, I am only interested in the Python-Regex-Pattern, I hope one of you can help me I have the folloing input text (lots of lines with \n as line seperator condensed to '.'): . . 1 Order order1 stuff order1 stuff etc ShippingMethod: Truck . . 2 Order order2 stuff order2 stuff etc ShippingMethod: Truck . . Order Summary . . I only want to match the texts in between 'Order' and 'Truck' for each order indiviually, I would then iterate over the results further along in the program. my Regex: ( i am splitting into "start, content, end" for better readability). pattern = \d\s*Order + [.|\s|\S]* + Truck When I execute this match, i get one result, beginning at 1 Order and stopping at the second Truck: 1 Order order1 stuff order1 stuff etc ShippingMethod: Truck . . 2 Order order2 stuff order2 stuff etc ShippingMethod: Truck I want (in this case) exactly two matches which only include one order's contents: 1 Order order1 stuff order1 stuff etc ShippingMethod: Truck 2 Order order2 stuff order2 stuff etc ShippingMethod: Truck I hope it's clear what I am looking for. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, stay safe, stay healthy! Things you might suggest: You have to assume varying amounts of Whitespaces at the start of a line and in between words, since the input text is the result of a PDF-text-extractor. But \n can be trusted. Basically insterad of writing \n write \s*\n I can't use "Order" as the end-part of the pattern, since after the last order the next thing is a summary. "ShippingMethod" is different in my language, that's why I used "Truck" for this example here. I will manage to rewrite. Continue reading...
