Regex, ignore last match in group

I want to capture in the line below only the world

"ArticleDAO"

Note: it.foo.burp can be any package, and the class name can be everything that finishes or not with word "Local".

if Local exists, than must be omitted.

This is my regex:

(.*\.)([\w]+)(?:Local)?

this works for the the second example, but not for the first one because it captures also "Local" ($1)

You can use this regex with an optional match and a lazy quantifier:

(\w+?)(?:Local)?$

RegEx Demo

Your match is available in captured group # 1.

  • (\w+?): will match 1 or more word characters (non-greedy)
  • (?:Local)?$: Will match optional Local before line end.
