Parse Constant String from a Column

MysticalAz

Hello,

 

In the attached sample dataset, I'm trying to parse column "Field 1". I'd like to parse out the T100 #s. Some may be null because it does not exist. The final output column should have T100-#####.

 

Thanks!

If the target IDs are always that consistent 10-character T100-X, then this ought to work:

 

IIF(FindString([Field 1], 'T100-')>-1,Substring([Field 1],FindString([Field 1], 'T100-'),10),null())

Just to add a layer of capability for other users trying to do the same, I find this site great to test and develop more complicated Regex to feed the tool:  regex101: build, test, and debug regex
