I have a text :
Revenue: $12.9 billion Regex=====>Revenue\W+(\$*\s*\d+\s*(\.\s*\d+)*)\s*billion Now I want $12.9 in a specific group but by using \W+ it takes ": $" after revenue. So I want to write such regex that it will consider all nonalphanumeric character except "$"
How can I do that???
A character class like [^\w$] will match anything that is not a word character or $. Also, there's no need to have \s* twice together, or to have it appear after \W+ (or [^\w$]+) because the preceding character class will swallow up any whitespace characters anyway:
Revenue[^\w$]+(\d+\s*(\.\s*\d+))\s*billion 
Revenue[^\w$]+(.\s*\d+\s*(\.\s*\d+))\s*billion use this,
the . will match the unmatched $

$12.9 is captured in the first group
