Get Build Number out of string RegEx

[dlesny]

Hello

I need to Parse URL links to get just the Jenkins Build number out. Links vary in length and number of "/" that's why I find it difficult.

Names can be different, Users can input digits inside the link also. Sample data below. Please help

So I am looking to get only the "BuildNumber" at the end before the //consoleText.

This is always there in every link "BuildNumber"//consoleText I am sure somehow maybe that can be used?

Hi @dlesny you could use a regex tool and parse out the number from the url using the syntax (\d+)

Hi @JosephSerpis  Thank you, That will work perfectly mostly. My concern is what if there is a digit in the link? Will it still work?

Hi @dlesny you can amend the regex slightly to cope with that based on your examples there always a / then //  so if I change the syntax to /(\d+)// it will only find numeric numbers in between those characters. I've attached a sample workflow where I added some additional numbers to the first two rows and I only extract the numbers between those characters.

Awesome! Thank you very much this is perfect.
