How to copy between 2 strings

Hey everyone

I have a column where each row has :

a link , and IP a username a password and port number

they are only separated by spaces

 

I need a regex formula that would copy the text between these 2 exact words:
IP:   xx.xx.xx.xxx user

everything that is between IP and user.

 

Any ideas?

Hi @soncoku 

 

Use regex tool parse mode

IP:   (.*) user

Please check this if also doesnt work. Please share a sample of the data 1 or 2 ips. You can mask 1or2 numbers in them.
