Hi All,

 

Im looking for an expression in Regex tool to extract values like below. Basically when there is an alphabet occurance there should be a split, again when there is an number there shd be a split and it goes on.

 

inputData    
 123, 234, 345, 2025-04-01, 456, abc, def, ghf, 23, 2025-04-02, ahf, sef, 234    
      
outputC1C2C3C4C5
 123, 234, 345, 2025-04-01, 456abc, def, ghf23, 2025-04-02, ahf, sef234

 My data is going to be dynamic hence i cont confirm the value count or delimiter as "," in text to columns.

Hi, @Skarthika 

 

FYI.

 

Spoiler
\d[\d\s,-]+(?=,\s\D|$)|[a-z][a-z\s,]+(?=,\s\d|$)

Hi there,

 

I built a sample workflow that helped me solve your data puzzle.

Please do let me know if this solution works for you

 

the recursive RegEx logic was implemented with  Alteryx logic instead - hope this works :-)the recursive RegEx logic was implemented with Alteryx logic instead - hope this works :-)
