Need someone who is a regex expert using notepad++

I have a huge file and I need to copy all the data that exists between 2 specific strings of text. The data in between them is different in every instance and I need each instance copied into an excel file. I tried example1=(.*)&example2. and it grabs what i need starting after example1 but doesn't stop after example2 and grabs more data than what i need.

If someone could help me with this today I will gladly pay you via paypal.

pm me if you can do this. thanks

update, my regex is working but now i'm not sure how to extract the matching data and copy it to another file. if anyone can help i will pay you asap. thanks

Click to expand...

if you already figured out the search string you need to use, it's easy peasy from there just not with notepad++ , because you can't export or copy the marked text to clipboard

use SynWrite instead, open your file in it, under "Search" go to "Extract strings..." or just hit CTRL+E, paste your search string into the "Regular expression" field, hit "Find" then "Copy to clipboard", it will automatically remove the duplicate results, so you'll be left with only the unique ones one per line

this is the regex you should use: this will find everything what matches your string even if you have 2 or more matches in a single line
