Hi @Kuldeepmathur 

 

Here is a way of doing it.

 

Workflow:

atcodedog05_0-1665312124217.png

 

the string we are trying to find is dr. name

(dr\.) captures dr.

(\u+) captures letters

 

REGEX_Replace([phrase], "(dr\.) (\u+)", "$1") replaces dr. name it with only dr.

 

Hope this helps : )
