You can use the following regex to match from a certain pattern until either an empty line or the occurrence of the next pattern:
pattern[\s\S]*?(?=\n\s*\n|\n\s*pattern|$)
Here, "pattern" refers to the specific pattern you want to match.
Explanation:
- [\s\S]*?
matches any character (including line breaks) zero or more times lazily (i.e., the shortest possible match).
- (?=\n\s*\n|\n\s*pattern|$)
is a positive lookahead that checks for either an empty line (\n\s*\n
), the occurrence of the next pattern (\n\s*pattern
), or the end of the string ($
).
Once you apply this regex, you should get a match that includes the entire block of text starting from the pattern and ending at the empty line or next occurrence of the pattern.
