Need to fetch the password using Regular expression

Question

a= <<EOF



Password 



: 



7UV1ceFQ (You will be asked to change this after logging in for the first time) 



EOF

I need to extract the value "7UV1ceFQ" using regular expression, I have tried using '/Password : 7UV1ceFQ/ but it's not working, I think it's because next line character is included, Can anyone please suggest me to exact this value?

Answer 1

▶ a[/^\S+(?=\s\(You will be)/]
#⇒ "7UV1ceFQ"

The regular expression above reads as:

starting with a new line start ^
get all non-space symbols greedy \S+
until the positive lookahead (?=\s\(You will be)
