Need help on regex matching in Writer

How can I find regex matches on these?

  • have eaten
  • had eaten
  • having eaten

Well, these aren’t really what I want to find. Just examples.

I’ve tried “ha.* eaten” but it’s too greedy.

Hallo
Maybe

ha[^ ]* eaten

Oh, that works too. Thanks. Took me a while to learn why it does.

Oh well, I’ve found the answer myself:
ha[:alpha:]* eaten
