Your input does not have spaces?

Why not just clip the part from the first %, and only then get the words? x.split("%", 1)[0].split()

Why not use [^%]+ and capture the first element in array?

Your regex [A-Za-z_](?!%) matches a single character in your character set that is not followed by %. Due to which it will not print just a and 3 that appear just before % character and print rest every character in character set. But don't think you want that as your intended output is Biblioteca Nacional de Espa

You can use this regex,

(?<!%)([a-zA-Z]+)(?=.*%)

and find all matching inputs. Here is a sample python code,

import re

x=r'Biblioteca_Nacional_de_Espa%C3%B1a'

y=re.compile('(?<!%)([a-zA-Z]+)(?=.*%)')

tokens = y.findall(x)

print(' '.join(tokens))

It prints,

Biblioteca Nacional de Espa

In case you had a typo in your post and indeed wanted to capture Biblioteca_Nacional_de_Espa, then you just have to retain underscore (that I removed) in your character set and the regex becomes,

(?<!%)([a-zA-Z_]+)(?=.*%)

And your python code becomes,

import re

x=r'Biblioteca_Nacional_de_Espa%C3%B1a'

y=re.compile('(?<!%)([a-zA-Z_]+)(?=.*%)')

tokens = y.findall(x)

print(' '.join(tokens))

which outputs,

Biblioteca_Nacional_de_Espa
