soncoku
9 - Comet

Hey all.

I have a column of data from which I want to pull out only this pattern:

 

293847463_323847565_1

 

So 9numbers_9numbers_1number

 

but I'm not that fluent in regex

any help would be appreciated 🙂

Hi @soncoku 

 

You can use Regex tokenize mood

 

 

\d{9}_\d{9}_\d

 

Should work

Answer should be:

 

Regex_Match([your data],"\d{9}_\d{9}_\d")

 

true or false as a Boolean variable in your formula or filter. 

cheers,
