Regex to extract string between different delimiters (Tokenize)

Hi,

 

I have a log with a field that I would like to Tokenize. I would like a Regex that will split the string in different tokens based on three delimiters that I could have (until now :-))

 

Basically bring into columns all the string between:

Did you know that you can use the text to columns tool and put all three delimiters into the delimiter field? That seems like the easy answer.

Hi, thanks for your quick reply.

 

The issue with that path is that I will need to create as many steps in the flows as delimiters no?

 

I was wondering if I can group a Regex in which I can give the strings (delimiters) to consider and then grab the string after that.

Nevermind, I didn't realize that I can have multiple delimiter within the tool!

 

Thanks for your help
