I need to remove all text in between A and B

A is two know words "Express transportation" B is also two know words plus full stop "kind customers."

I wish to use RegEx to remove everything starting from "Express transportation" all the way to "kind customers." (including these matching words)

I tried a bunch of RegEx builder, no luck.

It's helpful to provide your exact code, and the achieved result in combination with an expected result. It's also possible to edit/improve your question if someone writes a comment.

Anwyways, as far as I understood , this regular expression should help you:

Express\stransportation. kind\scustomers

This matches following string for example:

Express transportation balwfwe0fujefuawenf0uewafewfekind customers

partwise Regex Explanation

• List item
• Express => Matches the word "Express" literally
• \s => matches a space character
• transportation => matches the word "transportation" literally
• . => Matches any character except line terminators! 1-infinite times
• kind => Matches the word "kind" literally
• \s => matches a space character
• customers => matches the word "customers" literally

your regex

(?<=Express\ transportation).*

This regex matches everything after the string Express transportation. ?<= is a lookahead and actually does not include a matching character.

I suggest you to check out regex101 website. It allows you to build up and test Regex expressions and gives a bit of an explanation about them.
