How to remove middle substring using regex? - google-sheets

How can I turn this string ....cid=1234;tld=... to ....cid=;tld=...
I have tried this formula unsuccessfully:
=REGEXREPLACE( A1, "(.*cid=)(.*)(;tld=.*)", "$1$3"));
How should I remove the middle substring?

=REGEXREPLACE(A1; "(.+cid=)(.+)(;tfua=.+)"; "$1$3")

Remove characters in Googlesheets

I want to remove the first and last characters of a text in a cell. I know how to remove just the first or the last with formulas such as =LEFT(A27, LEN(A27)-1) but i want to combine two formulas at the same time for first and last character or maybe there is a formula that I'm not aware of which removes both (first and last characters) at the same time.
I know about Power Tool but i want to avoid using this tool and I'm trying to realize this simply by formulas.
You could use the REGEXREPLACE() function:
=REGEXREPLACE(A27, "^.|.$", "")
The regular expression used here matches:
^. the first character after the start of the string
| OR
.$ the last character of the string
better not to use this but it works too:
=RIGHT(LEFT(A27, LEN(A27)-1), LEN(LEFT(A27, LEN(A27)-1))-1)
=LAMBDA(x, RIGHT(LEFT(A27, x), LEN(LEFT(A27, x))-1))(LEN(A27)-1)
=LAMBDA(x, LAMBDA(y, RIGHT(y, LEN(y)-1))(LEFT(A27, x)))(LEN(A27)-1)
=LAMBDA(x, RIGHT(x, LEN(x)-1))(LEFT(A27, LEN(A27)-1))

How to extract the exact match from the string by using REGEXEXTRACT in Google Sheet

I have one issue with REGEXEXTRACT in Google Sheet. I want to match and extract the exact word. If I use the below formula, it will display the result “Sing,” but I want it to display “NA.” Because the source cell i.e A1 cell does not have the “Sing” word but it has the word "Singapore".
=regexextract(A1,”(?i)Sing”)
So, how can we extract the exact match instead of the partial match?
Thanks & Regards,
Vineet
REGEXEXTRACT is going to extract the part of the string that matches your regex expression. What you need to use is REGEXMATCH which returns a TRUE or FALSE and use it as a condition for IF:
=IF(REGEXMATCH(A1,(?i)Sing”), A1,"")
use:
=IF(REGEXMATCH(A1; "\b(?i)sing\b"); A1; "NA")
(?i) case insensitive
\b boundary

regex removing numbers from column

I'm trying to use regex to remove numbers from Column C using the formula below. it works for one cell but not for multiple. I want to apply the formula to the whole c column starting from C7
=REGEXREPLACE(C7:C, "[0-9]*\.[0-9]|[0-9]","")
Any advice?
use:
=INDEX(REGEXREPLACE(C7:C, "[0-9]*\.[0-9]|[0-9]", ))

Removing Capital Letters between brackets on google sheets

on google sheets I am trying to remove some capital letters that exist between brackets using regexreplace
=arrayformula(regexreplace(regexreplace(A2:A,"\(.+?\)\ Ltd$| $| LTD$","")," $| LTD$",))
the only part remaining is where it could be random company (PTY) and I need to remove the space before the (PTY) and the (PTY).
any ideas?
Try this formula:
=arrayformula(regexreplace(A2:A,"\s?\(.+\) (Ltd|LTD)$",""))

Splitting a string to all it's characters

This should have been simple but I can't find a workaround. I want to split a string into its characters.
e.g. dog will be sepearted to:
d
o
g
The problem is I can't put an empty character as a delimiter in the SPLIT function.
What am I missing?
Also
=ArrayFormula(mid(A1,sequence(1,len(A1)),1))
Something like this ?
=split(regexreplace(A2, "(.)", "$1_"), "_")
or if you'd want an arrayformula to process a column at once
=ArrayFormula(if(len(A2:A), split(regexreplace(A2:A, "(.)", "$1_"), "_"),))
Reference
More info on how this works? Check this link.
Try the following
=SPLIT(REGEXREPLACE(O13,"(.)","$1"&"-"),"-",1,1)
