regex not picking up new lines

Question

I am seaching for lines like so

{"url":"/search?cflt=active&amp;find_loc=37801","name":"Active Life"},

but as u can see in 101 example

{"url":"\/search\?cflt=[^<>]+?&amp;find_loc=37801","name":"[^<>]+?"},

match1 is huge and match 8 has 2 lines instead of 1

Your regex is greedy. Make it non-greedy by changing `[^<>]+` to `[^<>]+?` [Demo](https://regex101.com/r/zAt2dw/2) — Pushpesh Kumar Rajwanshi, Jan 13 '19 at 19:05

You should use lazy quantifiers: +? instead of +.

Your regex matches more because of `[^<>]` parts. Try to exclude other symbols, which are not parts of the fields you are trying to match. For example, `[^\"<>]`. However by doing that you wouldn't find fields which have `"` in them, there may be some better strategy. – andrey Jan 13 '19 at 19:40
