Just use

^☒.+

If you happen to have it in one line, you may use

☒[^☐\n]+

It doesn't work if string is in one line. ☐I am good ☐This is sky ☒Nice to meet you ☐hello world – prateek jain Jun 03 '20 at 08:00
@prateekjain: No, it doesn't. There's an anchor `^` which fixes the expression to the start of a line. – Jan Jun 03 '20 at 08:02
