How to include a variable in Regex(matches) Pattern?

[Dandan]

Hi,
I am trying to extract timespan, such as hours, after certain dates. These dates are results from another Matches Activity so they are stored in a variable, namely, DateVariable.

I’ve come up with the following Pattern but it doesn’t work. Can anyone help me figure out why and how to fix it?

Patterns:
(?<=((“+DateVariable+”).*))(\d{1,2}H)

Thanks in Advance.

You can try something like
New Regex(“(?<=”+DateVariable+“).*(\d{1,2}H)”).Match(test).Groups(1).Value

How to Insert a user defined variable inside Regular expression

HI, I have a Variable which contains a string. I need to use this variable inside regular expression , so that it will search for that string in the text given as input In the below screen shot, Input1 is the variable which has a string “abcd”. If i run this i am not able to find that string in my text file. I tried the syntax given in https://forum.uipath.com/t/variable-in-regex-pattern/136161 but it is not working for me. [reg] Please help

Thank you and sorry for not replied sooner(because of the time difference).
And also thanks to Divyashreem, I realized I made a silly mistake by putting a variable in the Regex builder instead of the pattern(property).
If put in property’s pattern, the variable can be recognized and problem solved.

Thank you so much.I did made the same mistake. I wonder why I didn’t find this topic earlier, although I looked through a lot of topics before my post.
