Hi @Jorge_Cavalcante ,

Thanks for the response but it is not selecting last string that is “Opening Balance”.

And their can be any text inside it is not always VISA.

Do you just need the “Opening Balance”? I did an Update on Regex.

Thanks again but the text can be dynamic not always that you have hardcoded.
I want it should pick dynamically whatever the text is present there.

Sure. Let me try. But on the first look, it is going to be complex/impossible. So want all the bolded text from the below right??

29 NOV VISA PURCHASE 27/11/16 59.99 2,405.99
30 NOV VISA PURCHASE 28/11/16 761.98 1,644.01
30 NOV VISA PURCHASE 29/11/16 822.00 822.01
02 DEC VISA PURCHASE 01/12/16 14.99 807.02
03 DEC VISA PURCHASE 01/12/16 5.50 801.52
28 NOV INTERNET DEPOSIT 28NOV 13:38 1,000.00 1,465.98
29 NOV INTERNET DEPOSIT 13:50
30 NOV INTERNET DEPOSIT 29NOV
27 NOV OPENING BALANCE 465.98

Right
You can ignore INTERNET DEPOSIT 13:50

@ermanoj3101 - Please check this…Only Opening Balance is not correct. See if you can use string manipulation/regex to replace that value…

I will also try…
