Hi,

I want to extract acronyms that have 3 or more uppercase characters.

 

I tried

 

([A-Z]{3,0})  Correction....I actually tried

 

([A-Z]{3,0})

 ...and it did not work (it does on Regex101)

Hey @hellyars,

I think you are looking for:

([A-Z]{3,})

Got this from regex101: build, test, and debug regex:

\u{3,}  but Alteryx default is case-insensitive

REGEX_Match(String,pattern,icase)  where icase is 0 for case sensitivity

What @MarqueeCrew said. So easy to forget about unchecking "case-insensitive" box in the Regex Tool or flag icase as 0 in the Formula Tool.

@IraWatt  Sorry, I cut and pasted the wrong version.  I did try exactly that ([A-Z]{3,}) and it did not work

@PhilipMannering   LOL That was it.  ([A-Z]{3,0}) does work so long as you uncheck the case insensitive box.
