Parsing Swift Codes using Regex

Hi everyone,

 

Need some help here which I can't seem to find anywhere in prior videos or discussions. 

 

I'm trying to parse out swift codes from a column of free-running text, and I don't understand why this wouldn't work when I type it into the field under Regular Expression:

 

/[A-Z]{6}[\w]{5}/

 

Swift codes as you know, are pretty standard - they comprise of a 4-letter bank code, a 2-letter country code, a 2-letter or number location code followed by a 3-letter or number branch code.

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks!

A swift code can be 8 or 11 characters long (sometimes X padded). I would use the Regex Tool > Parse with the expression,

(\u{6}\w{2}(?:\w{3})?)

 

Thx,

As Phil pointed out it can be 8 or 11 characters, typically 11. The last 3 represent the brach identifier or 'XXX' ro signify head office.
