Regex expression to extract characters between underscores

Travis_Ratliff

I am trying to find a regex expression that will extract certain characters between two underscores. The problem I am currently having is that the regex outputs too many characters

InputOutput WantedOutput Wanted 2
wave(ELBA_DS_SBGF_GH_DA_JNG_JGH) - wave(ELBA_DS_CDAS_GH_DA_FNG_JHIY)SBGFCDAS
wave(ELBA_DS_MEBADGASW3_H_DA_JGK_KGHL) - wave(ELBA_DS_MRTYRTDV7FTW_H_DA_KGHJ_ITRY)MEBADGASW3MRTYRTDV7FTW
wave(ELBA_DS_AMBSPORT8ADK_GHJ_DA_PIK_ASG) - wave(ELBA_DS_EKHLGNSMILE5_GHJ_DA_ABC_MSG)AMBSPORT8ADKEKHLGNSMILE5

 

Currently to try and get the first Output I am using "\w{4}\w{2}\_(\w+)\_" which is giving me "SBGF_GH_DA_JNG" but I thought that the last \_ after the match group would make it stop and not include anything after that underscore.

 

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Try this expression in a RegEx tool in Tokenize mode:     (?:.*?)wave\(ELBA_DS_(.*?)_
