Help

Hi Champs,

Stuck on a part of my code help needed.
Any leads would be highly appreciated.
My problem is: Suppose their a datatable which has column TEXT, the values of text can be as follows:

  1. Q1 ExcessDefCfgdftrfhhjkui htyuo V 2343555 D 72
  2. Q1 ExcessDefCftreyvhsvhhh hjkui htyuo V 2347679 D 87
  3. Q1 ExcessDefCfgdftrfhhjghdfdjjkui htyuo V 2343557565 D 72765
    …
    and so on
    thus From Column Name “Text” which can have above values extract the digits after Character “V” but prior to Character “D”.
    so the result should be:
  4. 2343555
  5. 2347679
  6. 2343557565

thus above result is expected . Any leads would be highly appreciated

Thanks !!! :slight_smile:

You can get this in a For Each Row activity by assigning a string variable to the following expression:

System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Match(row("TEXT").ToString, "(?<=V\s)\d+(?=\sD)").Value.
