Regex finding six digits

Help Studio

Hello friends. I’m attempting to create a regex to read the output from a pdf.

This is what I’ve tried so far by assigning it to a string:

system.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Match(pdfoutput,“(.*)(?=[1]{6,6})”).ToString

I am trying to find PO #s from a multline code, I originally thought it was only looking at the first line so I manipulated the output to have the example and no luck there either.

I’ve tried four different ways of pulling something and the closest I got was the index being 4 away from what it was supposed to be. Any help would be appreciated.

Example: It is supposed to return what i in index 42 because it meets the above criteria. If there are dups, that is fine.

HI @Thunder

You want only the 6 digit number right?
Try this pattern
system.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Match(pdfoutput,“\d{6}”).ToString

Hello @Thunder

You can use the below regex expression to fetch the value. Use Matches activity and provide the below expression in it. You will get all the matched values.

I did try using that website and found positive matches but when I put in the code, it did not work. Those did work, is there a way to say “six digits and starts with a 6”? Thank you for your responses!
