REGEX TOOL - REPLACE METHOD

Hi Guys,

 I want to use the REGEX TOOL replace function - I want it to review my sample column of data - In the same Column I want to remove all no numeric characters so i am only left with a number

 For example below "PIA" will be removed as will "*"  ----- There is no exact length of digits - The example below shows digits of 4 in length however, could be shorter longer

Hi @Tommy_Alterax the following Regex will replace anything which isn't a number

REGEX_REPLACE([Field],'\D','')

Or in the regex tool just put '\D' in the regex box and leave the replacement box empty

 

Hope that helps,

 

Ollie

Hi Ollie,

 

I'm specifically looking for the configuration of the Reg Ex tool replace option (not the formuale tool) - I couldnt get it working with your note on Reg Ex tool

Regards,
