Hello, I often get text blocks that end up like this:
● First line of text
● Second line of text
● Third line of text
● Fourth line of text
In online debuggers I can test this expression fine:
/(?:.?\●+){1}.?(\●+)/gm
Modifying the quantifier from {1} to {2} and {3} and so on to capture more or less of the text.
But it doesn't work in the regex filter in the scraper. Why so?
Thanks!
Two things I can think of, 1. is from the slight differences in regex between programming languages and 2. Have you tried it without the opening and closing tags(/ and /gm). I'm assuming that they aren't necessary here and the app will add those.
Hmm, yeah could be the language not taking it.
I actually did try without opening and closing characters. Doesn't work.
I wonder if there are any alternative patterns that could work... I am not a regex expert (or really any good).
