REGEX

hi2019

So,

 

I am using this 

 

!REGEX_Match([City],'^(\s*|\d+|[^\w\s]+)$')

 

to show this if OWNER-CITY field is null, only spaces, contains a number, or is only a symbol(s) move entire record to separate tab “Manual Review”

 

I am only trying to flag it then I can move it to another tab but its NOT picking this one: 1PEWAKEE

 

Why? it seems to be flagging all but this one?

 

 

thanks

Try the following

 

!REGEX_Match([City],'^(\s*|\d+|[^\w\s]+|\w*\d\w*)$')

@hi2019 
this should work
!REGEX_Match([City],'^(\s*|\d+|[^\w\s]+|\d\w*)$')

This will avoid RegEx, may be easier to understand and maintian:

 

IF IsEmpty(Trim([f1])) OR
Contains([f1], "0123456789") OR
!Contains([f1], "0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ",0)
THEN 1
ELSE 0
ENDIF

What is the best way to learn these? what tool do you use if any?
