Hello,

 

I am trying to parse the below text using the Regex tool but am kind of stuck:

 

Text to be parsedPart 1Part 2Part 3Part 4Part 5Part 6

Also, can you guide me as to how I can learn and understand regex better.

@Vaib Similar to @atcodedog05  approach

 

(.+?)\,(\d+\/\d+/\d{4})(\d{3})\*(.+?)\*(\d+)\[(\d+)\]

Thank you! Both the solutions did work for me. Would you be able to guide me as to how I can learn regex.

@Vaib The interactive lessons are a good place to start, RegEx is in the Parsing Data section
