Hi All

 

My data is really tricky. I am looking for numbers in different columns after removing any additional text or special character in between. A  line could have more than 3 ids, so generate column accordingly

 

Can someone please help

@dunkindonut7777 Do you know where I can find a list of commands for the regex tool? You posted \d* , \s , .*, which was really helpful.
