Hello,

I am using a java platform.

Trying to capture everything past the last whitespace like this:  ([^\s]+$)

 So Input:  "My name is Marven" --> "Marven"   (pretty much selecting last word)

I need to check if there is no whitespace, do not select the word.  I want to make sure nothing is selected if there is only one word and no whitespace.  Maybe check for beginning of line with "^"?

 I..e right now: "Marven" --> "Marven"

I need: "Marven" --> n/a

Thanks in advance!

Did you find a solution yet?

This may work: .*\s(\w+)\s*$

It selects the last work, but only if there is a space before it, and ignores trailing whitespace to the end of the line.

It will match a single word on a line if there is white space before it, so I'm not sure if that quite meets your need.

Consider (?<=\s)\S+$
