How can i match this string permission grant inspire @you @me @john like this match

Group 1: grant or deny

Group 2: anything character

Group 3: should match start with @ every character in match like @you @me you and this is splitted by splace

This is my try in regex ^permission\s(grant|deny)\s(.*)\s(.*)

this is my fiddle

Note: I'm using javascript, does this need lookbehinds or something else that can look around

Converting my comment to answer so that solution is easy to find for future visitors.

You may consider this regex:

^permission\s(grant|deny)\s([^@]+)\s(.*)

Last group has this pattern ([^@]+) that matches 1+ of any character that is not a @ so that our match stops at the first @ later.
