Your best bet is probably to paste the pattern (^(.{'+27+'}(?:\p{L}|'’))(.)) into https://regexr.com/ or another website that explains regular expressions. You might also want to take a regex tutorial to (re) familiarize yourself with the concepts. Here's one I just found by searching for regex tutorial: https://blog.usejournal.com/regular-expressions-a-complete-beginners-tutorial-c7327b9fd8eb
