I am trying to pull some info out of a text file. I am able to match what I need, the problem is that there are too many matches.
The information repeats itself a few times in the text. There is unique text between repeats, but I can't figure out how to get it to stop matching things when it comes across this text. Putting anything but \s after my lookahead seems to break the regex.
Hoping there is a way to do this, and failing that, a way to limit the amount of matches it will grab.
Here is what I have now and a sample of what I'm searching:
