I'm trying to extract sub-string from a main string, e.g. extract "c1234" from "abc1234efg". In the past I can use a simple pattern "c\d*" to get what I need, but in Alteryx formula it seems doesn't have any way to do this. The closest way is use REGEX_Replace, but I have to change pattern to ".*(c\d*).*" plus use a mysterious "$1" in the end, which is much more complicate and counter-intuitive.
I know there is a tool called "RegEx", but it does not support concatenate pattern string according to previous fields.
Does anyone have any idea about how to fulfill this function? Thank you.
Well that’s good and bad news. I’m on a mobile phone right now.
