hi! i've been trying to find something similar in the discussion but have not been successful. im playing with the regex replace formula tool and want to see if i can only get the middle part of a string.

ABCDEFGABCG
ABCDEFGHABCGH
ABCDEFGHIABCGHI

 

thank you

Hi @utsarunner981 

 

How are you defining it as middle chars?

hi @atcodedog05 - this is the formula i wrote and giving a null. 

 

REGEX_Replace([Field1], "\w{3}*(\w*)", " ")
