Matching two sets of numbers from a line. (2.66 and 34.3). These can digits are variable in length but surrounded by whitespace. eg Ox 2.66 abcda 34.3 abfdasd

I got 2.66 with \b(?:Ox)\s (\d*\.*?\d )

Any resources that can guide me in the right direction? Im stuck on matching the second separately. cheers

CodePudding user response：

you could write the following regular expression: ([\d\D\s]*). Let me know!

You may continue the regex pattern and capture the second number after another word:

\bOx\s (\d*\.?\d )\s \S \s (\d*\.?\d )

See the regex demo. The second number will be in Group 2.

Details:

• \b - a word boundary
• Ox - a word Ox
• \s - one or more whitespaces
• (\d*\.?\d ) - Group 1: zero or more digits, an optional ., one or more digits
• \s - one or more whitespaces
• \S - one or more non-whitespaces
• \s - one or more whitespaces
• (\d*\.?\d ) - Group 2: zero or more digits, an optional ., one or more digits
