I have no idea to solve my problem. If someone could help me. Thanks a lot
Solution
It looks like your first .+ is grabbing the first digit, because your capturing rule, \d{1,2} says grab 1 or two digits, and .+ can grab anything. Be more specific and put a \s+ before matching the digits.
Why not try:
.+\s+(\d{1,2}\s+\S+\s+\d{4})
OTHER TIPS
try to simplify your regex, for example \d{1,2}.+\d{4}
