Trying to figure out quite simple thing with grep, but seems like it is not my thing... can someone help?

Need to find two words before right indent tab

For example:

This is the text there is <right indent tab>

want to find:

This is the text there is <right indent tab>

Words that need to be found might be lower or upper case.

Thanks

    Hi

    Give this regex a try:

    [-\w]+\h[-\w]+(?=~y)

    FYI [-\w] is a custom character class that catches any word characters (any digit, any letter - upper or lowercase- and underscore character) AND hyphens (that should be by default imho)...
