REGEX PARSE RETURNS BLANKS

I am trying to run a string of text through a series of Regex using the Regex Tool with "Parse" selected.  If the pattern matches, it returns the characters that match the pattern.  If it doesn't, it returns null.  However, mine is returning blanks.  Does anyone know why?

@bb213,

 

my guess:  the pattern is finding blank(s).

 

Cheers,

Hi @bb213

 

Some sample data and maybe the workflow you're using, or at least the configuration of the regex tools would greatly help us help you.  Without more info, we're just guessing, even if it is a very educated guess like the one from @MarqueeCrew
