How do I pull all the words from a line between the two words 'from' and 'by' when I have NO IDEA what's in there, but I know they are all in one line.

To make it more difficult.  'by' is optional...

Like this:

from......by......
or
from......

I want all the stuff inside.

Initially I'm thinking
/from (.+?) (?:by (.+?))?/

Anything better?

I can negate a character  with [^b] to mean not-'b'
but can I negate a word?
