REGEX -- separate raw data into 6 columns

TomBock

Hi:

 

I would like to use REGEX to delimit my single source column. As a picture is worth a 1000 words, please see attached JPG illustrating the "After" output.

Based on the sample data (XLSX) file, what regular expression would turn the "Before" data into the "After" output?

 

Thanks,
Tom

You don't need regex to do this. You could do,

But this regular expression in the Regex Tool set to parse will also work,

 

(\D+),(\d+/\d+/\d{4})(\d+)\*([\d.]+)\*(\d+).(\d+).

Hi @TomBock 

 

One way of doing this.

(.+),(\d{1,2}/\d{1,2}/\d{1,4})(\d+)\*([0-9.]+)\*(\d+)\((\d+)
