Regex - Find the word that has FF in part of it

MahmudSaniat

Hi,

I have a string with multiple words, and trying to identify the word with FF in it.

 

E.g. "I am a FFN customer" - from this string I want to create a column with value FFN.


Thanks for the help.

Hi,

Thanks for the attempt.

Perhaps we are only few inches away ...

There is no guarantee that the word will be in this format:

 

FFN, FFT

it can be GFF, HFF33 etc.

Thanks

Hi @MahmudSaniat ,

 

if you provide some representative data we can build some different methods depending on how your data is structured.

Hi,

I have data in this format:

RandomWords<optional space>RandomLetersFFRandomLetters<optional space>RandomWords

I want to fetch the last letter before FF together with the FF ... like:

FARHAN SFF --> SFF
ASIF PFF96 --> PFF


Thanks for the help.
