Hi @Mithra_1810,

 

I've attached how i would approach this, including records that have numbers and no numbers (such as record 20):

hi @Mithra_1810,

 

What do you think about this? Tokenize:    \d+

Later you can make analysis on the length of the number to discard the second column in case you don't know where the the important number is located 

 

Let me know what do you think

Hi @Mithra_1810,

 

I have adapted my last workflow and now you can see the number and the text splitted
