Extract filename data

[charlescooks]

Dear all, 

I'm trying to extract the first 10 digits and last 4 digits of the following filename: "0423855851 DRAFT PS 2021.xlsx"

Any chance you can help me write the correct regex to use with the regex tool in alteryx ?

@charlescooks One way of doing this. I am not sure you want all the numbers in one column or separate columns like below.

Hello @charlescooks . You can also use the below regex expressions for extracting first 10 and last 4 digits.

Thanks!!

Hi,@charlescooks 

If you only want get the numeric of filename, follow this formula:

 1- Get all number:

REGEX_Replace([FileName], "^(\d{10}).*(\d{4}).+?$", "$1$2")

2- Get First 10 number :

REGEX_Replace([FileName], "^(\d{10}).*(\d{4}).+?$", "$1")

3- Get last 3 number:

REGEX_Replace([FileName], "^(\d{10}).*(\d{4}).+?$", "$2")
