Do you want the match to return
a) the all-text-until?
b) the newline-dot and all-text-until?
c) everything, including the AAA000?

Your nested [[]] make no sense. It looks like you were trying to make
a lookahead-assertion.
You are capturing the fixed sub-expression \n\., though I can't believe
you want to assign it to a variable!

It looks like you want option b)

 {\n\..*(?=[A-Z]{3}[0-9]{3})}
