Extract all text after specific words

Hi all,

 

Though I've read several posts re. this topic I still can't seem to figure out how I can extract text after specific words in a text string. 

 

Random string of words. Cover: Mike Carren

I want to extract the text after both the words "Cover:" and "Photo:" so I can extract the names in the dataset.

 

What would be the most convenient way of doing this? 

 

Many thanks!

Hey @jesuisbo

 

The easiest way would be the regex tool in Parse mode, using this regex: .*?:\s(.*)
