How do you use "repeat ... until" in Regular Expression

Question

I have the following list:

find **data** find find
find **data** find find
find **data** find find
find **data** find find
found
find data find find
find data find find

I would like to match all **data** until the word "found". All data after found I would like to escape.

are you using script/ programs or you want to active that from cli — Sudip Ghimire, Dec 05 '20 at 01:42

Use a look ahead to assert that found appears somewhere after the match:

(?s)\*\*data\*\*(?=.*found)

If your language/tool does not support the DOTALL flag (?s), use flag options (often m), eg

/\*\*data\*\*(?=.*found)/m
