Hi @atcodedog05 ,

 

Thank you for the help. Is it possible to remove the bracket from the below output after extracting it. Like below please only with KERATE and not bracket in a separate column with all other values.

 

 

Thanks

Hi @sriniprad08 

 

Lots of solutions already, but here's how I would do this:

Parsing 

.* (.+)

which will output everything after the final space into a new column

 

Hope that helps,

 

Ollie
