I have data which looks like this:

 

Big Data|Business|Business Analysis and Strategy|Business Software and Tools|Continuing Education (CEU)|Core Capability Data Analytics|Core Capability Digitalisation|CPE|Data Analysis|Data Analytics|Data Science|Data Science Careers|NASBA Continuing Professional Education (CPE)|Technology

 

Ultimately, I would like to pull out the characters between the first 'Core Capability' and the subsequent '|'. ie. 'Analytics'.

 

I have been trying .*?CORE CAPABILITY(.*?)/| (and variants thereof)

 

Any help appreciated

You were CLOSE...

 

regex_replace([Field1],".*?Core Capability (.*?)\|.*",'$1')

 

Cheers,
