I am having problem how to use regex and it's been half day searching the commands, I hope anyone can help me with this issue.

the string:

What I want is, get the words: Table Chair, Newproduct and the last is United Kingdom. FYI there are few spaces in the string.

Thank you

You'd have to post more input, because your data format is vague right now...

But I'll try to answer anyway:

^\s*Product(.+?)Style(.+?)Location(.+?)\s*$

Your info is in the 3 captured groups. I can't say more until I know the language you're using.

EDIT: In JS:

var re = /^\s*Product(.+?)Style(.+?)Location(.+?)\s*$/gm;
var inputString = "ProductTable ChairStyleNewproductLocationUnited Kingdom";
// Add another line of data
inputString += "\nProductDeskStyleOldproductLocationGermany";

var match;
while((match = re.exec(inputString))) {
    console.log({
        product: match[1],
        style: match[2],
        location: match[3]
    });
}

In Python:

>>> import re
>>> exp = r'^Product(?P<product>(.*?))Style(?P<style>(.*?))Location(?P<loc>(.*?))$'
>>> i = "ProductTable ChairStyleNewproductLocationUnited Kingdom"
>>> results = re.match(exp, i).groupdict()
>>> results['loc']
'United Kingdom'
>>> results['product']
'Table Chair'
>>> results['style']
'Newproduct'
