Trimming characters from the middle of a string

Hi community, 

 

I'm trying to remove the text from the middle of a string. I've managed to trim characters from both the left and the right already. 

 

What looked like this: CAT_CAT_0107_03_03_000 now looks like CAT 0107, but I need it to look like 'CAT107'. 

 

The data type is string and needs to remain string. 

 

Thanks a lot in advance, 

 

Matt

Hi @Blondek ,

 

I'm not sure if I'm simplifying your problem, let me know if I'm doing it.

Regex_replace([Field],' 0*','')

This will remove any spaces and any zeroes preceded by a space
