Split string into multiple rows

MonaAlmutairi
8 - Asteroid

Hello everyone,

 

I'm trying to split a string to rows based on two conditions:

 

1- Each row value should start with 6

2- And have a length of 10 chars.

 

Example: 

 

Before:

612345689760012255876000011111

 

After:

6123456897
6001225587
6000011111

 

Is there any way to do that? or even a way to insert a space or delimiters after every 10 digits that starts with 6?

 

Thank you all!

Hi @MonaAlmutairi 

 

You can learn more about Regex from the below links

In addition to the above resources, you can use https://regex101.com/ as a sandbox for building and testing out regex. The tool is very intuitive for step-by-step regex building.
