Say there is a string:

16 NIP 712-10-08-323 2020

I'd like to have a full match what comes after NIP until first character different from [0-9-]. So I'd like my full match be 712-10-08-323. I've come up with the following regex, but it matches NIP 712-10-08-323 instead of 712-10-08-323.

(?:NIP )[0-9-]{13}

Use [`NIP\s+([0-9-]{13})`](https://regex101.com/r/b5KSqk/2) and grab `matcher.group(1)` value – Wiktor Stribiżew Feb 18 '20 at 12:44
@WiktorStribiżew The thing is that I do not want use groups. – menteith Feb 18 '20 at 12:45
Then use `(?<=NIP\s)[0-9-]{13}`, but it is not the best if whitespace number can differ between `NIP` and the digits. I adjusted the close reason. – Wiktor Stribiżew Feb 18 '20 at 12:46
Thanks, that's it. – menteith Feb 18 '20 at 12:46
