I have a strings similar to the below:

Secret key\r\nKey: \r\nNew key is: car!5\r\nKey added
Secret key\r\nKey: \r\nNew key is: 123fruit2!!\r\nKey added
Secret key\r\nKey: \r\nNew key is: ChairS5!#\r\nKey added

I would like to match what is between "is:" and , in the examples above the expected matches would be

car!5
123fruit2!!
ChairS5!#

What I've come up with so far is as follows:

is:([^\\\\]*){3}\s*
(?:is:)*([^\\\\]*){3}

But it fails to fetch the results expected

Use `(?<=is: ).+` - in Ansible. – Wiktor Stribiżew Sep 08 '20 at 10:01
@WiktorStribiżew I tried the following: - set_fact: getkey: "{{ getkey_raw.stdout_lines[2] | regex_search(regexp,'\\1') }}" vars: regexp: '(?<=is: ).+' But in doing so I receive an error msg "IndexError: no such group" – MikeAnders Sep 08 '20 at 11:49
Sure, if you need to capture the result use a simpler `is:\s*(.+)` – Wiktor Stribiżew Sep 08 '20 at 13:03
