Fast regex that matches a character but does not include that character

Question

I want to match with P character all charters after P and between newline character.

What I've tried is "P. * \ n", which clearly still matches P, but I want all the characters after p and before the newline.

Somebody knows?

just use:

p(.*)

make sure you are not using the multipart regex option.

What about:

P(.*?)\n

The characters you want are in group 1

You can try this:

(?<=P).*(?!\n)

Positive lookbehind for P, then negative lookahead for newline.
