正则表达式首次出现括号

Question

I have a string like this:

Adress: Big Avenue 9 - National (FOREST (THE)).

And i need parse it with regex to retrieve some data like this:

• Big Avenue 9 - National
• FOREST (THE)

I'm using this regex:

/Adress\:\s(.*(?!\.*\)))\((.*[\(.*\)]?)\)/

But they giveme this result:

• Big Avenue 9 - National (FOREST
• THE)

I've searching lot's information, but I don't know how can I do it. Thank you so much for your help.

Answer 1

You may use

'~Adress:\s*(.*?)\s*\((.*)\)~'

See the PHP regex demo, results

Details

• Adress: - a literal substring
• \s* - 0+ whitespaces
• (.*?) - Group 1: any 0+ chars other than line break chars, as few as possible
• \s* - 0+ whitespaces
• \( - a ( char
• (.*) - Group 2: any 0+ chars other than line break chars, as many as possible
• \) - a ) char

See a PHP demo:

$re = '/Adress:\s*(.*?)\s*\((.*)\)/';
$str = 'Adress: Big Avenue 9 - National (FOREST (THE)).';
if (preg_match_all($re, $str, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER, 0)) {
    print_r($matches);
}
