want to find specific string from given text using regex

Question

I want specific string from below text using regex.

str = 'Supervision68 - Outdoor Supervision In Compliance922 KAR 2:100 - 
Section 10(15) Each child'

Specific string : '68 - Outdoor Supervision In Compliance'

I have tried an get below result:

re.findall('\d+(.*?)922', str)

result: ' - Outdoor Supervision In Compliance'

Remove the capturing group, and lookahead for `922` instead of matching it (or capture the whole thing you want to match, like below) — CertainPerformance, Apr 15 '19 at 06:53
Move the starting `(` before `\d+` (and the plus is redundant here): `'(\d.*?)922'` — Wiktor Stribiżew, Apr 15 '19 at 06:54

You almost had it:

import re
str = 'Supervision68 - Outdoor Supervision In Compliance922 KAR 2:100 - Section 10(15) Each child'
print(re.findall('(\d.*?)922', str))

OUTPUT:

['68 - Outdoor Supervision In Compliance']
