I have this regex now:

(\w+\s+){4}\w

I want that it also states max. 5 number of words to filter on. How do I add that condition in my regex?

If you want to capture segments consisting of up to 5 words, either with or without punctuation marks or space at the end, you need this regex: ^(?:[\w]+\s){0,4}[\w]*[\s\.?!;\,]*$
