Capturing two information using regular expressions-CodePudding

*COMPLETED:     25 Apr 2020 [09:08:21]                            |TIME:        00:13:49  *

I would like to capture the information as below:
DateEnd : 25 Apr 2020 [09:08:21]
Duration: 00:13:49

I have tried the regular expression below but unable to correctly get the right information.

(?P<DateEnd>(?<=\*COMPLETED\:). )]\s (?P<Duration>(?<=\|TIME\:). )\*

CodePudding user response：

Try this:

COMPLETED: *(?<DateEnd>. ?]).*TIME: *(?<Duration>\S )

You don't need to escape colons : and you don't need look arounds.

I'm not sure if your flavour of regex needs the P in the named groups, but none I know need the P so I removed them and as per the demo it works.
