Regex to extract specific words

I am looking for regex to extract following words from text. For example, the word which comes after "Replaced" in each of these lines:

Replaced disk 

Replaced floppy

Replaced memory

Please suggest the regex for it.

We can't really help you without more details (like which regex flavor you're using, for example), but you probably want to match it with something like this:

Replaced\s+(\w+)\b

...and then extract the desired portion from capturing group #1.

I think

/Replaced\s(\w*?)/

Or:

/(?<=Replaced\s)(\w*)/

If you only want to select the word and not Replaced.
