Error ID: AkEMVkNPdEOMPsUQ

 

Can someone assist with the RegEx expression that would remove the Error ID: so my output would be AkEMVkNPdEOMPsUQ

 

Thank you

@bh1789 ,

 

This string has 3 words.  I'd simply use GetWord() and find it with:

 

 

 

GetWord([Field1], 2)

 

 

or simply:

 

Replace([Field1], "Error ID: ", '')

Cheers,

 

Mark

 

p.s.

 

REGEX_Replace([Field1], ".*\s(.*)", '$1')

Hi @bh1789,

 

This one doesn't really need to be RegEx, which can be a bit more computationally expensive than string functions. In this case, I'd use TrimLeft will work just as well with the formula: TrimLeft([Field1],'Error ID: ')

Hi @bh1789 

 

One way of doing this with regex

 

(?<=\:\s)(.*?)$

You can try this.

Hi @bh1789 

 

One way to achieve this is also using Regex tool

 

Use the Regular expression below

:\s(.*)

 

Use the output method Parse and you get your output.

 

Many thanks

Thank you very much James for the simple solution.  Question, how would you trim the following (TrimLeft doesn't seem to work with some characters):

 

IVID/+UuYbjoifvOy to just UuYboifvOy

'DcA3OFVM to just DcA3OFVM (without the single quote in the front)

Hey @bh1789, no problem. Trimleft should work for all characters, I'm assuming the reason it's getting confused here is because the formula is ending when you're entering the ' you want to be trimmed, because Alteryx is thinking that's you closing the quotations. It can be bypassed in this scenario by wrapping the ' in double quotation marks instead.
