I doing trying to extract words from an end of a line if a line contains a specific phrase using RegEx.
For example I have these lines:

Web Mode .............................. Enable
Secure Web Mode.............................Enable
AP Fallback ................................ Enable

And I would like to find the lines starting with "Web Mode" for example and if the line starts with "Web Mode" I would like to match the word at the end of the line which in this case is "Enable".

I have been able to match the beginning of the line like so:

^Web Mode.*

but I'm stuck at this point, any Ideas?

CodePudding user response：

For the example data, you could use a capture group to match Enable

^Web Mode \.  (\S )$

The pattern matches:

• ^ Start of string
• Web Mode Match literally followed by a space
• \. Match 1 or more occurrences of a dot
• (\S ) Match a space char capture 1 non whitespace chars in group 1
• $ End of string

See a regex demo

CodePudding user response：

Use

^Web Mode.*\b\K\w $

See regex proof.
