Extracting specific lines from string

Help
1

Hello,

I have string from pdf, file, in which only specific lines interest me. Lets say they are starting with numbers, and not always are in the same order. Is any extraction method that would be helpful for me? For example, searching for some specified string, and getting characters after that to another variable?

Regards,

Hello Rafał,

you can use Regex to find specific Strings/Lins

Hi Karnik,

Regex is used for Type match

suppose if you have to Select all Email Ids from a String or any particular String type you can use Regex!

you can use online Regex editors

Sure,

I would like to get time value from “1 Sun 00:00 08:00 08:00”. Sometimes could be more characters after, but I am interested only in 3 first time value.

Furthermore, I need to extract value from line which is under specified one.

.[0-9]:[0-9].+[0-9]:[0-9].

[0-9]+:[0-9].+[0-9]:[0-9]+
