Regex for removing RT

Question

I have the following input string:

 "i'm good RT @someone : how are you?"

I want to remove everything after i'm good for having a final string like below:

 "i'm good"

Here the regex I had so far:

/ RT\s*@[^:]*:\s*[A-Za-z ]/

However, only ' RT @someone :' is removed, the status is still on.

What am I missing?

Answer 1

Try this regex:

\s*RT\s*@[^:]*:.*

DEMO

Answer 2

RT\s*@[^:]*:\s*[A-Za-z ]+

You need to add a quantifier like * or + to remove status as well.

or

RT\s*@[^:]*:\s*.*
