Hi @Cherkos12 ,

 

You can achieve that with the RegEx Parse tool. Attached is an example that works with your example but would need to be modified if the ID don't always begin with 7013. Here is the expression I used:

(7013.{4}) 

7013 = find an exact match for the characters "7013"

. = find any character after the "7013"

{4} = find any single character 4 times
