i am trying to split the text based on string value using Regex. Something like this:

 

Existing  Field 1 : Size 112KB(76 KB Used) 65%

 

Expected:

 Field1 :Size 116KB(12 KB Used)

 Field2: 65%

 

There can be space between the number and percentage and it can be decimal as well like 65.22%

Thanks for the quick response. That works.

 

I understand the parsing will break if there are no semicolons in between. How to handle if there is a space after primary instead of semi colon.
