Hello,

 

I have a column looks like "[A-BCD] 1234.05 - /EFG-HIJK.LMN - OPQ (RST) UVW - [XYZ] - ABC

 

I would like to split the string into 3 columns - 1234, 05, and [XYZ] from above column. 

 

Could you please help?

 

Thank you!

Try this: .+(\d{4})\.(\d{2}).+(\[\u{3}\])

Here is our formula:

 

.*(\b\d{4})\.(\d\d).*\[(.*)\].*

 

Used in a RegEx tool (configure to PARSE), you immediately get your desired fields:
