Regex Replace used in formula tool

yvkpatel

I am trying to replace below strings using Regex:

1) interest payable pursuant to this Section 3(d)(ii) on an Installment Due Date will be $108,452.04.

2) "Fixed Interest Rate" means the annual interest rate of 4.36%.

 

Desired result: $108,452.04      #for 1st line

                        4.36%                #for 2nd line

 

I am using the following methods for the respective lines:

if REGEX_Match([Field],".*fixed interest rate.*") then REGEX_Replace([Field],"(.*?)(\d+.*%)","$1.$2%")

 

if REGEX_Match([Field], ".*interest payable pursuant.*") then REGEX_Replace([Field], "(.*?)(\$\d+.*?)(,\d+.*)", "$1")

 

The result that I get using the above codes are the same previous lines, there is no change.

 

I don't know what I am doing wrong. Can anyone please correct my code?

Hi @yvkpatel 

 

Would you be able to post the string you're trying to parse with these other formulae? Easier to troubleshoot RegEx if we can see what you're looking at.

Hi @yvkpatel 

 

When testing your new Regex_Replace on just that string of characters, it works. So, my thought is that within the IF/THEN/ELSEIF, that particular line is matching first to another Regex_Match in a previous ELSEIF.

 

If you change the order of the IFs and ELSEIFs (maybe try putting the latest one first), does it work?

I tried changing the order of else if conditional statements and by putting the last one 1st I got the correct answer. So I think as you all said above regarding the problem I was facing it was totally true and Thank You for your kind support with the whole problem.
