If the goal is just to select this piece you could go straight to the point:

/o cara da pamonha bateu com o carro/

Or you can use this pattern:

/o cara(.*)no carro/

See the example.

UPDATE

So if you want to stop at the first word "car" and return everything from the beginning of the sentence use this pattern:

/^(.*?)carro/

Example

  • that question is only an illustration of my real problem and there is a Portuguese import in the string I want my regex end in the first car word and not in the second car word look what happened i.stack.Imgur.com/Qzojs.png
