Hi @Doonline,

If it will always come in this format, you can use it.

value = "Inbox number: ECH-12-G65 Extension number: 99"

inboxNumber= value.Split(":"c)(1).TrimStart.Split(" "c)(0)

System.Text.Regularexpressions.Regex.Match(Str_Value,“\w+-\d+-\w+$”).Value

[muhammedyuzuak]

Understood. If the format will change in this way, it is better to use regex.

@Gangadhar_Athili

System.Text.Regularexpressions.Regex.Match(Str_Value,“\w±\d±\w+$”).Value

Sadece sondaki $ işaretini kaldırabilirsiniz. Bence bu açıklamanın devamı var.

This inbox number can be MD8s29812 in this format also. Mostly * will be present

[Doonline (Doonlinejob23)]

Okay.I will try this method also

[muhammedyuzuak]

for 1 => inboxNumber = value.Split(" "c).Last.Trim
for 2 => inboxNumber = value.Split(":"c).Last.Trim

Regex maybe applied between two string expressions. If you share all possible situations, better solutions will be shared

[Doonline (Doonlinejob23)]

There are only two situations

1. Inbox number EC12/649GDMUe98G6505
   2)Inbox number (2): PM217-G6587*GY/*02
