Parse fixed width - Number

jjg21

Hello Alteryx wizards!

I am having a hard time figuring out what I am doing wrong with my RegEx function.

I have what is essentially a UPC Code i.e. 0156483010299

For which I am attempting to parse as follows:

[01564830] [1029] [9]

        8             4      1

The current formula I used was: (\d{8})(\d{4})({\d{1})

which returns null values every time, but I found that if I only leave the first part of the equation (\d{8}) I get the desired result for the first 8.

I've scrounged through the other similar topics and videos and have only come up with results where there is a space or text involved so im wondering if there may be something with how I'm combining the difference output columns.

Appreciate the guidance!

({\d{1}) is your problem.

That has to be (\d{1})

(\d{8})(\d{4})(\d{1}) in a regex tool set to parse works for me...
