This works very much as described in Place of birth in Family Tree Layout from GEDCOM PLAC data:
(?ms).*^\d\sDATE\s(.*)$

Unfortunately, this is not really supported. Processing "irregular" data requires additional logic that is beyond the scope of yEd's properties mapper and regular expressions in general.
Your best bet is to "sanitize" (i.e. make sure <PLACE> always exists and its data is always "well-formed") your data before processing it in yEd.

I need your help...

I use the property manager in order to extract some labels for a family layout.

My Gecom file is :
_____________________
1 BIRT
2 DATE 26 FEB 1820
2 PLAC Saint-Gein,40190,Landes,Aquitaine,FRANCE,1 Espe lette
2 _FNA NO
2 SOUR @47S@
1 DEAT
2 DATE 18 JUN 1824
2 PLAC Saint,43190,Andes,Aquine,FRCE,Nou eau
2 _FNA NO
2 SOUR @51S@
_____________________

I want to write a Reg Ex in order to extact the words after "," fiveth commas in the line containing "PLAC". For exemple in the Gedcom lines
firts extract "1 Espe lette
second extract "'Nou eau"
and so on in the Gedcom.

I try this Re EX "(?ms).*^\d\sPLAC\s(?:[^\,]*\,){5}([^,]*).*$"
It does'nt run fine
What is the correct Reg Ex

Thanck a lot from France

What do you mean by "it does not run fine"? What result do you get instead of the expected "1 Espe lette"?

Hello,
Thancks to take some instant for answer

My RegEx extract the words "1 Espe lette" that I look for, but it adds the following line of the file for exemple :
"1 Espe lette
2 _FNA NO"

It does'nt stop at the end of line !!
Waiting for your answer.
Best regards

"(?ms).*^\d\sPLAC\s(?:[^,]*,){5}([^,]*?)$.*$"

IT is strange twice "$" but any way its run.

Have a nice day
