How to extract just numbers between square brackets in string

Hi Guys,

 

I hope you all are doing well.

 

I have a data like below.

I want to extract just number between square brackets in string like Desired Column.

Desired column could be created more than one column. I mean desired column/s could include only one number (extracted from the string) 

Any help would be appreciate. 

 

My data

Desired column

[1] KCC [333]abc

1, 333

[22] www[444] abc

22, 444

[333] KCw[555][666]

333, 555, 666

[29125  Account

 

[555]absdhegaf[999]

555, 999

[11][222][333]

11, 222, 333

abc[11]aaa

11

29125] BVVV

 

 

Best regards...

Hi @acaryasin01,

 

There are various ways to do this but here's one example.

I used regex to tokenise the data on numbers in brackets.

Then I just concatenated it into a single field and removed the brackets with a bit more Regex.

 

Regards,

 

Ben

It's working but my data is a bit large and more than 30 column (I would mention but forgot, sorry)
