This was a fun one.  I've really enjoyed learning RegEx and using it with Alteryx.  It's amazing to me the things you can do that I didn't know were possible with data!

You can actually change the data type of a column with the multi-field formula tool.

String Functions, a regex tokenize and my favorite tile tool did the job for me.
