Extract text and number of a specific length from string field with different lengths

bleu
8 - Asteroid

Hi,

 

Read a lot of posts about extracting/ parsing but I can't find one for this problem:

 

Input

202 - Apples 56 - Left
7 - Apples 71
158 - Apples 71
333 - VES Apples 37 Right
313 - RPT Apples 42 Left Basket
195 - Apples 22- PCK

 

Desired output- Just Apples and 2 digit number

Apples 56
Apples 71
Apples 71
Apples 37
Apples 42
Apples 22

 

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

@bleu One method of dong this

REGEX_Replace([Input], '.*(Apples)\s(\d+).*', '$1 $2')

Hi binuacs,

 

I'm not sure why I keep getting the beginning numbers though. Do I need something in REGEX to remove them?

@bleu Can you share your Regex_Formula here ?

Never mind.

My fields have different names, I used this as an example. I needed to replace "Apples" with the actual data. Duh!

Thank you so much!! It works 😁
