This is a new one to me.
I am trying to parse dozens of entries. Specifically, I am trying to pull a contract number from a body of text. But, I am getting inconsistent results. My expression is (\w{6}-[0-9]{2}-[A-Z]{1}-\w{4}).
If I take a body of text and copy/paste it to an Input Text source to test my RegEx expression and workflow, it works all the time.
If I use a YXDB input source (my real data), it works most of the time. There are instances where it works with the Input Text method for a given body of text, but not for the same body of text when using a YXDB source.
The expresión is the same for both methods. I can only discern one minor different. The text field is set to V_String when paired with the Input Text source and V_WString in the YXDB source. Can this really skew the results or is something else at play?
Thanks
