Hello everyone, I am fairly new to regex, I have a data column that contains values like these
"00P6_LUX_RPC
010T_ONT
010T_ONT_RPC
01P1_OMA_RPC
01P5_AUS"
I am able to write Regex for the values after the first underscore as its pretty straight forward using regex tool to replace these values with null. But the first 4 alpha numeric values I am not able to write a solution as there is no guarantee that the first 2 digits will be numbers or letter.
Can anyone help.
Here is my current solution
Solved! Go to Solution.
@AbhishekkSinghh What is the expected result?
Hi Binuacs, the output I am expecting is the rows that contained values with the fixed expression to go blank. please look at the attached file for reference.
Please also note that in the attached file, I am only able to remove one type of variable and since the first 4 values will contains alpha numeric values that can be at any destination, capturing all those values is proving to be a difficult task for me.
@AbhishekkSinghh try the below regex
Hey Binuacs,
Missed some values, here is an example of few that the expression was not able to handle.
"040T_002_RPC
AUT_RPC
BFW_RPC
BG50_001_RPC
BG52_001_RPC
BG54_001_RPC
BG56_001_RPC"
Was wondering if there would be a better way to handle these values, say create a formula, stating that if the end of the string value end with _RPC take that out or remove that value. but if that's not the best way to go about it then, how can we handle these values.
Also, forgive me for I didn't realise that the middle values could be numerical.
@AbhishekkSinghh What about the below regex
That didn't work either. As seen in my previous example, not all the values are words, after the first _ sometimes they can just be numbers.
Following is an emaple:
AUT_RPC
BFW_RPC
BG50_001_RPC
@AbhishekkSinghh \w can read both word as well as numbers. Can you give me the expected result from the below input
00P6_LUX_RPC
010T_ONT
010T_ONT_RPC
01P1_OMA_RPC
01P5_AUS
040T_002_RPC
AUT_RPC
BFW_RPC
BG50_001_RPC
BG52_001_RPC
BG54_001_RPC
BG56_001_RPC
Hi Binucas, that worked. Thanks! I was writing it without the \ backslash, and therefore was not able to see the empty rows. Thanks for everything, I have accepted your solution provided and will close this thread now. You have a good day! and hopefully I can be of some help to you someday as well.
