Extract pattern with Regex help

I’m trying to extract a pattern using REGEX and it works just fine in regex101 and in Integromat.

 

But in Zapier it doesn’t return the value. Is there some formatting error I’m running into?

Here is the regex code: 

^\s*(?<name>.+)\scompleted

here is the regex101 link to see the text I’m extracting from.

any help is appreciated. Thanks community!

@Coach Mike - The problem is that you’re using the PHP flavor in regex101. However, Zapier supports the Python flavor.

I have tweaked it for you: \s*(?P<name>.+)\scompleted
