I have a statement like Data lva_var type Integer value 20. I need to find out the token after type.
My latest try was [type](?:\s\S+), but the match was e integer.
Code snippets would be helpful.

- You misunderstand the question - which language will you be using this regular expression in? They vary, and you've marked it in two specific / different languages. Which is it? – random_user_name Commented Sep 9, 2016 at 15:20

Reset to default 7Just try this, type\s(\w+)
Here the first group contains the word next to "type"
Hope this code helps.
You can use lookbehind for this (?<=\btype\s)(\w+) will do the trick for you. Take a look at this example.
JavaScript doesn't support lookbehinds, but since you tagged nsregularexpression and that does support them, maybe try this: (?<=\btype\s+)\w+
