I have the following regex https://regex101.com/r/6orbpa/1
^ho..ital\s+(?:(?:\b[a-zA-Z_']+\b)[ ]*){1,5}$
it extracts any senetence that starts with the word hospital OR hopital and only includes the sentence if it has up to 5 words to the right.
How do I modify the the regex to make it work from when the words ENDS in hospital OR hopital and includes up to 5 words to the left?
You can use
^(?:[a-zA-Z_']+ +){1,5}hos?pital$
See the regex demo. In case you are not using multiline texts, you may replace the literal space with \s in the pattern.
Details:
^ - start of string(?:[a-zA-Z_']+ +){1,5} - one to five occurrences of
[a-zA-Z_']+ - one or more letters, underscores or ' chars + - one or more spaceshos?pital - hospital or hopital$ - end of string.
