I have following regular expression loc_content_re = /(?:([A-Za-z\s:]*?):)?([\s\S]*)/ > content = "HYDERABAD/NEW DELHI: Andhra Pradesh chief minister was ...." > I wanted to extract "HYDERABAD/NEW DELHI" from above content match_re = loc_content_re.match(content) > location = $1 > plain_content = $2 > It shows location nil and plain_content as passed One more, What will be the regular expression to extract IANS and 3 September 2009, 02:57pm IST from following " IANS 3 September 2009, 02:57pm IST " Thanks !
