Replace a specific character

wcamarg3

Hi all,

 

I'm trying to replace 3 characters "&&&" by only one character "&".

 

I used this formula:

 

Replace([field], "&&&", "&")

 

but it keeps "&&&".

 

Does anyone know how to solve it?

 

 

 

Many thanks,

 

Wilson

Hi @wcamarg3 

 

The formula you have should work, so I'm not sure what the issue is.  You could also try a RegEx replace formula..

REGEX_Replace([Input], "&{3}", "&")

 

Hope that helps

Hi @wcamarg3 — Use this expression in a Formula tool, like below:

 

REGEX_Replace([Field1], "&&&*", "&")

I only made a small change like that:

 

REGEX_Replace([Field], "&&&*", "")

 

It worked like that.

 

 

Many thanks for your help.
