Help with Regex Parse

stj1120

Hi all,

 

I'm trying to separate the data using regex parse.

 

    Column1

1. ASdfgtchbn123ADFGV8,/djvvjlvi69
2. XDfctyubjn1546

 

Some part of the data in the input is same in the two records. But, other part in first record is little different. I tried multiple approaches. 

 

I used the below pattern. 

([A-Z][a-z]+)(\d+)|([A-Z]+)(\d),/([a-z]+)(\d+)

When I use above pattern then I get the output as above. 

 

If I use the pattern like this ([A-Z][a-z]+)(\d+)([A-Z]+)(\d),/([a-z]+)(\d+) then I get the below output.

How do I get the output data in the two records without disturbing any?

 

Please help.

 

Thank you.

 

Best regards,

teja.

You are missing a backslash before the forward slash. 

([A-Za-z]+)(\d+)|([A-Z]+)(\d),\/([a-z]+)(\d+)

@gabrielvilella You don't need to escape a forward slash.

This works for your two records (and probably your two records alone)

([A-Z][a-z]+)(\d+)(?:([A-Z]+)(\d),/([a-z]+)(\d+))?

 

Note that your examples start with two upper case latters and your expression matches only one: so the output will change when you untick the Case Insensitive.checkbox.
