A nice and simple challenge

 

After I resolved this, it has been fun to see all the other and different approaches that has been used.

 

It could either be, that since this is an "old" challenge, that the RegEx tool has not been used more, or it is simply because the lack of knowledge in regards to Regular Expressions.

If the latter is the case. I would recommend the following resources

 

I am no RegEx expert myself, and I had to use https://regex101.com/ a couple of times before I got something that worked 😉

Spoiler

I am still amazed on all the different approaches that has been done so far.

 

That just proves, that there is not just one right answer, when you are using Altertyx.

 

Best Regards

I forced myself into the RegEx route and glad I did: challenging, but gets you what you want in a fast and elegant way!

Good exercise about 'lazy' vs 'greedy' quantifier configuration.
