Regex String Not Working

[Casmat]

Hey!

Had a bit of a regex problem. I basically want to use Engine.getRegexMatches to return me a value. Basically, I want to find all values after the following substring: " - " (it has spaces and ignore quotes) . For example, if the given string was: Thanks - For Helping. The result should be For Helping. I tried the following code: ".*? - " (ignore quotes) in regexr, But the result in hise is the opposite from what I want, I don't know if there is a way to invert the value to show the other part after " - ". Then I tried this code: "(?<= - ).*$" (ignore quotes) and it worked flawlessly, but when put into hise as a string, an error in the console pops up called Interface:! regex_error(error_syntax) Anyone know what could be wrong here?

Thanks!

@Casmat I'm not familiar with regex but if it's working for your purpose you could use substring

const strings = ["Thanks - For Helping", "Vielen dank - My Dear"]

for (s in strings)
	Console.print(s.substring(s.indexOf("-")+1, s.length).trim());

logging:

Interface: For Helping
Interface: My Dear

s.split("-")[1].trim() should do the trick too. Regex is overkill for this simple task, but the correct syntax for this would be

const strings = ["Thanks - For Helping", "Vielen dank - My Dear"]

for(s in strings)
	Console.print(Engine.getRegexMatches(s, ".* - (.*)")[1].trim());

@ulrik @Christoph-Hart Thanks! Both work amazing! The trim() function was exactly what I was looking for! I had thought it cut out all whitespace characters, not just the start and end! Thanks for helping!
