Help with regex

I'm trying to create a regex that would turn this string: "pain around the eyes, nose, cheeks, or forehead" To this: "pain around the eyes, pain around the nose, pain around the cheeks, pain around the forehead" I've been trying for an hour now but no luck :( Thanks in advance

var re = /, (or)?/g; var str = "pain around the eyes, nose, cheeks, or forehead"; var newstr = str.replace(re, ", pain around the "); console.log(newstr);

Hi Diego, I've successfully captured the first 3 words, but can't capture anything after that. /^((?:\S+\s+){2}\S+).* ([a-z]+)/

I mainly use JavaScript, but doesn't regex have the same syntax in all languages?
