Ruby Question
Need to fetch the password using Regular expression
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?

▶ 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)
