Regex Expression: Capture the Text Between the Lines which includes Newline, Spaces, And Underscore characters

Question

I have some text taken from a pdf file and read into a string. I want to extract the words before line 4 Description of the property being purchased and not anything above it or the underscore line below it. I tried using the regex /^[^4]*/ but this is returning null.

What would be a suitable regex to achieve the above?

Thanks.

I think your regex is fine just a minor change and it will start working

try using  this:

Regex regex = new Regex("^[^4]*"); //
 //Regex regex = new Regex("/^[^4]*/"); <--NOT THIS
