Get characters to the right of a certain part of the string

Hi all, 

 

I have multiple cells with something like this:      "summar":"null":"score":"SV_0832dmn83bf","project","catalog":

 

I am trying to parse out just this into a separate column: SV_0832dmn83bf

How can I do this?

 

thanks!

REGEX_Replace([InputColumn], '.*:"([^"]+)",.*', '$1')

this will give the result

hi @kayla_o 

There are a couple of ways to do that. As proposed by @Raj, Regex would be first option to parse data in your case.

Another possible Regex can be like this; 1 or more upper case alphabet, followed by underbar _, and 1 or more alphabet/number.

.*?([A-Z]+_\w+).*?

 Also, if you want to parse other data together, and are sure of input data having the same schema, Text to Column would be an option, too.

Another way (less elegant, but possibly simpler -i.e without regex) use a a text to column tool with " set as the delimiter  and then use the select tool to choose which column (or columns you want)

 

Hope this helps
