I have this regular expression that select all the lines after a pattern.
I was wondering if i can select only a number of characters after a pattern or online 2 lines after the first pattern that appears on a _raw. ?!

Extraction: (?Caused by.\n.alt text)
I need to extract a specific number of characters after the pattern

Instead of using .*, you can use { } to specifies the number of characters

(?<CAUSEDBY>Caused by .{10}).*\n

That will grab 10 characters after "Caused by "
