Hi @Ritesh_Burman

So we can help you. We need more information. What data do you want to extract from the table? Could you share a screenshot or make it clearer what you would like to extract with Regex?

There is no handy regex. You define them depending on your needs and string patterns.

As guideline, I can give you a couple of ideas. Assuming your string includes brake lines you may:

  • Build a regex according to the pattern of the rows to extract from the table
  • Search for beginning and end of table (if you have specific keywords to do so) and then parse line by line what is in the middle

I think these are two approaches when not using DU

Hope it helps
