I have an issue with writing my regex For some reason it always returns same match instead of multiple

I am trying to isolate the Client information starting with "Client Full Name" and finishing when new "Client Full Name" starts or is end of string

My regex so far is:

((?:Client Full Name)([\s\S]*)?Client Full Name)*

Regular expression visualization

If you solve that, please write down the explanation for me so I do learn

var patt = /((?:Client Full Name)([\s\S]*)?Client Full Name)*/g; – napster Sep 10 '15 at 10:04
In any case, even by using /g, you still will match only the first client in your case, because the second one doesn't end with \n\nClient Full Name. – briosheje Sep 10 '15 at 10:05
