How to match “as much as possible until the group is matched”?
Consider the string
hello world something 12345 somethingelse
I know that I will have hello, then some characters except numbers (I could list them if it helps), and then a set of digits. I would like to match this group of digits.
If I knew what is between hello and the digits, I would use .*hellosworlds(d*)s as the match string.
Is there a way to say "match the group of digits after hello (that hello is followed only by non-digits characters up until the sought group)"? (something between a greedy and a lazy match)

You may use this regex:
helloD+(d+)
Where:
D+matches 1+ non-digits after matchinghello
(d+)matches 1+ digits and captures it in group #1
