Hi,

I cannot find out the regex expression that will do the following:

For example, in " I have one blue car and you have two blue bikes", I need to extract the quantity text ('one' or 'two').

But I only need the quantity for the item('car' or 'bikes') that I specify.
Here is what I've tested so far (without succes!)

   1. regex = 'have.*blue.*(?<=car)' -> result = 'have one blue car' <-Ok
   2. regex = 'have.*blue.*(?<=bikes)' -> result = 'have one blue car and you have two blue bikes' <- NOk. I would expect 'have two blue bikes'

Any idea about what I am missing?

have\s*?([a-zA-Z]+)\s*?blue\s*?(car|bikes)

this will return you 2 matches:

 have one blue car

have two blue bikes

group 1will contain a numerical: one or two

group 2 will containg the token : car or bikes

Sergei,

Thank you for your response.

It is exactly what I was looking for.
