Hi All,

 

In a field "5000,999,BUS Stop,,BUS, Stop%", I need to remove comma after the BUS

 

How to go about?

 

Thanks in advance...

Do all the rows have the same structure ? Is this comma always the fifth ?

Hi @Raj008 ,

 

there are many ways to go about this, depending on if there is a pattern on the data etc.

 

a simple approach would be using a formula tool to replace 'BUS,' with 'BUS'

 

syntax: 

Replace([  Field1   ], 'BUS,', 'BUS')

@Raj008 , you can use the following formula in a Formula tool :

 

 

REGEX_Replace([Field1], "(.*),(.*)", "$1$2")

 

It replaces the last comma whatever is before and after.
