There are still a lot of examples in the Xml Data.

I did (?i) before (?P<wordafter>.[^\.]*?Exit) , this extracts the Fort Rd Exit (Example 2), this extract only before, how can I extract after ? together with this expression.

After hours of trying, solved by (?i) (?Pat|after|before) (?P[^.]*?(?PExit.|Rd.|Entrance.|Ave.|Avenue.|North.|[1-9].|BKE.|SLE.|CTE.|ECP.|KJE.|TPE.|PIE.|AYE.))

Can you tell me if i and P are exactly typed like this or you substituted field names in here?

Thinking this (with changes) may be my answer
