I have a regex question. My ini the following lines:

Code:

## Full name or additional info for relationships
## 1. Make these two word names one word before the 'first part only' line.
 ships_CHARS=>[pP]ast (.*)=>past_\1
## strip each ships char down to first part only
 ships_CHARS=>^([^ ]+).*$=>\1
## 2. Change the two words names back into separate words
 ships_CHARS=>past_(.*)=>past \1

(This is just the relevant lines. If the full ini is necessary, I'll post it.)

For example, in this story https://archiveofourown.org/works/28197405, the regex results in "Claude/past Sylvain", which is expected. What I would like to get is something like "past Claude/Sylvain".

I'm not sure how to do that because FFF sorts the ships alphabetically, but in this instance I don't want it to sort the ship. I want "past" to be the first part of the whole ship. Could someone help me?
