How to use regular expressions in UiPath

Hi everybody, I’m scraping information from an application and I have each time a string like “You have (400.65 points)”, but it can be also 34.90 or 4059.56, so I tried to scrap each time the number with a regular expression: Regex.Match(OCRStringOutput, @“[1]([.,][0-9]{1,3})?$”).Value But this expression don’t work. Have you an idea to extract each time only the number from the string? Thanks, 0-9 ︎

Hi @cheersrpa,

When you’re asking any question, it is required that you give us all the necessary information. You told us you needed to split this string, but you never told us HOW you want it to be split or WHAT you want it to be split into. What’s your required OUTPUT? All these questions are necessary to be answered first before anyone can give a good resolution to your problem.

Generic steps to follow whenever you want to use regex with UiPath:

Step 1: Write regex for the pattern of string you want to extract (in this case, those are only numbers). The Regex expression to use: “\d+”

Step 2: Just pass THIS Regex and your INPUT to a “matches” activity in UiPath. The output you receive will be an iEnumerable list of matched numbers (say iMatches)

Step 3: Use an If condition to check if iMatches.count>0.

Step 4: In the then part of if, use a for each statement and loop through all the matches.

Step 5: when using the matched values, do remember to convert them to string (console.writeLine(match.toString))
