REGEX EXTRACTION

Hi

Im trying to extract text that lies between user and in the below text line: The following gives me a User ID which in want to extract

“added to user XXXXX in the”

Im using regex pattern, “(?<=” + labelbefore + “)(.*?)(?=” +labelafter + “)”

But it is not able to extract, match found is displayed as False. Can anyone help?

Hi @shreyaank

Actually the expression is working, i just hardcoded it like this, it worked

mention like this in expression of Matches activity buddy
“(?<= ’ ” + labelbefore + “ ')(.*?)(?= ’ ” +labelafter + “ ')”
but make sure that labelbefore and labelafter are two variables of type string
and get the output with a variable named out_matches and pass this in for each loop activity and keep the type argument as object
–inside the for each loop use a write line activity to display the value of the matches found by mentioning like this
item.ToString

think you have set the variable of the label after and label before as generic please set it to string
