RegEx Parse return text between 2 specific words

[elclark]

Hello - I have a block of text that I am trying to pull a specific string that is between 2 words. What I think is the problem is that "ID:" occurs multiple times within the string of text however I just need it to return whatever comes after ORIG: and before the first instance of ID:

"some text with random words and numbers 12351 more words ORIG: text I need to pull 1235 words ID: 190355 more words ID: 13565 more words ID: 65168"

I want the results to be "text I need to pull 1235 words"

This is the expression that I'm using. I'm successfully parsing after the ORIG: however, it's pulling everything up until the last ID instead of the first one.

(?<=ORIG:)(.*)(?=\sID:)

Hi, @elclark 

Try this:

(?<=ORIG:\s)(.*?)(?=\s?ID:)

Howdy @elclark you can use the Regex tool in Parse mode with this expression and it should do the trick:

ORIG:\s*(.*?)\s*ID:
