Some tips on Regular Expressions:

  • You can visit this site https://regex101.com/
  • Input your test string which is "names....blablabla.txt"
  • There are many ways to get your Regex right, mine is 

 

 

.*\|{3}.*(\d{4}).*

 

 

  • Have fun playing around. This one is my 1st Weekly Challenge and it is already challenging lol

This was a fun challenge. I'm a new user. I only used the tools I was familiar with for this challenge so my workflow turned out a little "longer" than I would have liked. However, I'll definitely explore other tools and come back to re-attempt his challenge in the future.

Here's my solution.  I tried to keep it simple since I'm not that great with PERL expressions.

 

Take care,

Rich
