Regex Capture Groups

Hi All,

I have a question about RegEx Parse. I have the following string: "..a.stuff_my_month_to_delete" and the following Regular Expression: "(\.+(.*))_month". The Parse Output Method generates two output columns, with RegExOut2 being the desired one: "a.stuff_my". How do I suppress RegExOut1? Is a backreference needed and if so, how do I do it? 

Thanks!

The one pair of () will give one output, so we can remove one pair of them.

A good place for testing and learning RegEx. 😁

\.+(.*)_month
