Hi All,

 

Trying to remove all the characters(number : #) before the string in the name column and email column. Tried using the Data cleansing tool not bringing the desired result.

Hi @suby 

 

So in "(.*)#(.*)", "$2"

(.*) - group before #, group 1

#(.*) - group after #, group 2

 

$2 keep only group 2.

So in "(.*)#(.*)", "$2"

 

Name =  6567;#abc

 

(.*) - group before #, group 1  

On group 1 does it group  6567;

 

#(.*) - group after #, group 2

On group 2 does it group anything after the #

 

$2 keep only group 2.
