Regex that captures all characters except "^"

Question

I have the following problem:

• I want a regex to capture all characters in a paragraph that contains "#flashcard" and a string after a line break that starts with a "^" sign. E.g.,

lorem ipsum #flashcard ^4599993

• However, the regex should ignore/exlude the sign "^" itself. The result should be, e.g.,

lorem ipsum #flashcard 4599993

• I started with this regex

((?:[^\n][\n]?)+) #flashcard ?\n*((?:\n(?:^.{1,3}$|^.{4}(?<!<!--).*))+)

• I tried all kinds of modifications but it always captured the "^" sign. E.g.,

^(?!\^)(.*?)#flashcard:(.*?),(.*?),(.*?)(?:^.{1,3}$|^.{4}(?<!<!--).*).

Solution: A modification of this regex

((?:[^\n][\n]?)+) #flashcard ?\n*((?:\n(?:^.{1,3}$|^.{4}(?<!<!--).*))+)

that ignores the "^" sign.

Thank you for any help & advise!

Answer 1

This could be your pattern: /^(.+?#flashcard )\^(.+?)$/

And then replace the matchings with: $1$2
