Find double digit number on either side of keyword

[steve1040]

Row1 = cooperative. he scored 25/30 on the m_m_s_e. language was fluent. he denies
Row2 = status, cognition, and cortical functions: m_m_s_e 21/30 · ****** status (including orientation to

each row contains the keyword "m_m_s_e"
I want to return the 2 digit value that may appear on either side of the keyword
between the space and "/"

So for row1 I'd get 25
and row2 I'd get 21

How do you want to handle these MMSE scores?

If there is at most one score on a line and if you want to replace each line that contains a score with just the score, try:

Find what: .*?(?:\b(\d\d)\b.*m_m_s_e|m_m_s_e.*?\b(\d\d)\b).*
Replace with: $1$2

If you also want to remove lines that do not contain a score, try:

Find what: .*?(?:\b(\d\d)\b.*m_m_s_e|m_m_s_e.*?\b(\d\d)\b).*(\n)|.*\n
Replace with: $1$2$3

If you can rely just on the presence of the /30 part (as MMSE scores are always out of 30), these are simpler:

Find what: .*?\b(\d\d)/30.*
Replace with: $1$2

Find what: .*?\b(\d\d)/30.*(\n)|.*\n
Replace with: $1$2$3
