Hi

Sure
The input will be like
10000abcd BJ123456 1020 3040

The output should be
123456,
without BJ in the second term.

Thank you

Hi @james_g,

I think I will be able to help you with this task. Please give a try with this RegEx.

(?<=^\d[\w]+\s[\w][\w])\w+

It will be able to give you the desired output.

Thanks

This works for the given input.
But when the input is like
10000abcd BJab23456 1020 3040, after the first 2 char in the 2nd term, the following 2 char will also be omitted.

Thanks for your response

This works pretty well for all the combinations.
