Java - Extract data from Document with Regex

Question

I have a dataset of resume and I want to extract data from each resume I will give an example as a sample to what I need

String test= "Worked in Innovision Information System Private Limited as Project Trainee-Content Writing from Date to Date.";

I want to extract the company name, role (designation), and Date (From-to)

I'm new to regex so please correct me if I'm wrong

the first thing I tried to extract each one of them separately

String regexStr5="Worked in:? \\w+" ;
String regexStr6 ="as:? ([a-zA-Z ]+)";

and for the date Date : (Jan|Feb|Mar|Apr|May|Jun|Jul|Aug|Sep|Oct|Nov|Dec) \d{1,2}, \d{4}

How can I put them all together in the same regex?!! and print the company-Name +role+date

No absolutely not but this is a sample that I took from one resume — Abeer zaroor

Then it's tough to match pattern. Regex is context free which means it doesn't understand like we do. You have to feed pattern syntax to match those. You can match string like this demo. For which it has to be structured. — user2705585

A literal string match would be just fine for above test string.

Regex: Worked in (.*) as (.*) from (.*) to (.*).

Replacement to do: Company Name: \1\nRole (designation): \2\nDate: \3 to \4
