Finding substrings from a string excluding pipes and whitespace
I want to extract the substrings TEST_CASE and RESULT from the string
| TEST_CASE | RESULT |
using regular expressions.
I tried [^s*|] but this only picks out the first character.
Any suggestions?

I believe that this should do it: /[^s|]+/g and use the g global flag.

You should use a quantifier to repeat the character class one or more times like [^s|]+
A negated character class matches not what you have listed in the character class and is kind of a broad match.
Another option is to be specific about what you do want to match. If you only want to match uppercase characters and an underscore, you could use [A-Z_]+ or match 1+ times a word character w+
