regex - Extracting words between two expressions -

i want extract name between account number , amount while parsing stream of transactions here sample transactions:

18-05 12.34.56.789 mahmouud adam 100,00 123 18-05-2014 (18-05) alexandria

i have tried following returns null

(?<=\d{2}\.\d{2}\.\d{2}\.\d{3})(\w)+(?=\d+,\d+)

i.e. behind account number || {one or more words} || ahead amount

any idea?

\w equals [a-za-z0-9_] - not match spaces. match numbers, if use

(?<=\d{2}\.\d{2}\.\d{2}\.\d{3})([\w ]+)(?=\d+,\d+)

it willl match mahmouud adam 10. (only 1 0 taken ahead).

try one:

(?<=\d{2}\.\d{2}\.\d{2}\.\d{3} )([a-za-z ]+)(?= \d+,\d+)

(i added match spaces before , after name look-arounds not included in match).
