Regex to search two string inside a method

Question

How to create a regex , so as to search two strings "greet" AND inside this method string "name" . I tried

(^.*greet(
|.|)*)(.*name*)

def greet(name):
    print("Hello, " + name + ". Good morning!") <--- this name should be selected 

def meet(name):
    print("Lets meet, " + name )

Answer 1

I would use this regex:

greet([^
]|
+[^S
])*name

Here the strings greet and name are separated by characters that are not a linebreak ([^ ]) or, in the case, they must be eventually followed by a space that is not a linebreak ([^S ]). In this way you ensure that name is in the same method of greet.

See demo.
