Hey Vinutha, use the Expression below:

System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Match(strInput,"(?<=TRN).*(?=-)").Value

where strInput is a variable with your input.

Kind regards, Anders

You can simple modify the expression, in laymans terms:

  • (?<=TRN) defines a lookbehind
  • (?=-) defines a lookahead
    meaning we are telling our code to look in between.

Untitled

  • which will get the value from your screenshot.

For further reference, I can recommend @Steven_McKeering awesome post here, Regex help tutorial MEGAPOST – Making your first Regex post, Reusable Regex Patterns, Regex Troubleshooting, Sample Workflow and more
