I was trying to extract this numeric string: 232546102069 from the given link:
http://www.abc.in/itm/fawf-asdfsafjsaf-jasfh-lbadfugo-hasdhf-asdijfh-xpq/232546102069?hash=item3624d3eb35:g:BU4AAOSwm3pZ-cQV
using regex in Sheets.
Can anyone help me with the logic and its explanation?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Try matching the following pattern:
http:\/\/www.*\/(\d+)\?
The number you want to capture will be available in the first capture group. I make the assumption here that the 12 digit number you want to capture will always occur immediately before the start of the query string.

Hi everyone,
My goal is to remove the integer behind the name (if exist) as shown in the screenshot above. Is there any trick to do this other than doing it manually? It is challenging for me because the name list is not consistent as some of the names does not have integer behind. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
In your situation, how about the following sample formula?
Sample formula:
=ARRAYFORMULA(REGEXREPLACE(A3:A,"\d+$",""))
Result:
Note:
If you want to use TRIM for the value, how about =ARRAYFORMULA(TRIM(REGEXREPLACE(A3:A,"\d+$","")))?
Reference:
REGEXREPLACE

From OP's following replying,
Hi Tanaike, thanks for your input. I tested both formula. It works most of the time with the exception of Derrick Tan 1. Beside that, is it possible to remove the - as well if exist? I edited my question with new screenshot example, thank you.
In this case, how about the following sample formula?
Sample formula:
=ARRAYFORMULA(TRIM(REGEXREPLACE(A3:A,"[-\s\d]+$","")))

I have the following extract of code. My aim is to extract the value 7.4e-07 after the symbol DAN. My usual go-to formula (using MID & FIND formula's) for this can't work because DAN is surrounded by ", and therefore confuses the formula.
{"data":{"log":{"address":[{"balances":[{"currency":{"address":"example1","symbol":"ROB"},"value":0.0},{"currency":{"address":"example2","symbol":"DAN"},"value":7.4e-07},{"currency":{"address":"example3","symbol":"COLIN"},"value":0.0},{"currency":{"address":"example4","symbol":"BOB"},"value":0.0},{"currency":{"address":"example5","symbol":"PAUL"},"value":13426.64}}}
I will always need to find the number shown in the 'value' after DAN. However, all other data surrounding will change so cannot be used in the search formula.
Any help would be appreciated.
The extract the digit you want, it can be achieved by using regex, split, index, here is the formula, accept if help :)
=index(split(REGEXEXTRACT(A1,"\""DAN\""},\""value\"":[\d.a-zA-Z-]+"),":"),0,2)
This is the regex I used to extract the value including the beginning text
"DAN"},"value":[\d.a-zA-Z-]+
This is outcome from the regex,
You could try an arrayformula to work down the sheet, extracting all values after 'DAN':
=arrayformula(regexreplace(A1:A,".*(DAN...........)([\w\.\-]*)(\}.*)","$2"))
I want to make custom slots that accepts any and all entries as long as those entries follow a certain regex pattern, eg:any number of alphabets or numbers but without a space in between. Can anyone tell me if there is a way in amazon lex to achieve it?
Also, if I want to take a certain type of data, say, email ids, but want to give the user option to give any number of email ids (more than one), what is the way to do that.
I am new to Amazon Lex and any suggestions would be appreciated.
Make a slot in Lex console in your intent but do not tick as required, and give any type as slot type.
Now in lambda code, first set the slot to null and then parse the inputText using regex and assign the correct value to the slot.
This way both of your problems will be addressed.
Hope it helps. Let us know if you run in any problems.
I am trying to validate fields in my iOS program:
I need to match a phone number, but the field is optional.
I thought using the regex to match the number to also validate if there is no phone number:
[0-9\-\+\*]{4,14}
Then I thought how to also match where there is either a valid number or no number at all?
(:?[0-9\-\+\*]{4,14})?
Meaning, either match between 4 to 14 chars within the range 0-9,+,-,* or nothing.
This website is showing infinte matches for that pattern.
ideas?
^$|^[0-9\-\+\*]{4,14}$
As to the questions this has brought here:
Regex is a great validation method. and it is cross platform.
no need for another layer of code to implement. Simple and clean.
You should just code it. I don't know your language but basicaly :
If(field.isEmpty)
should do the trick.
I have 2D array in which the second column has domain names of some emails, let us call the array myData[][]. I decided to use ArrayLib in order to search the second column for a specific domain.
ArrayLib.indexOf(myData, 1, domain)
Here is where I found an issue. In myData array, one of the domains look like this "ewmining.com" (pay attention to the w).
While searching for "e.mining.com" (notice the first dot), the indexOf() function actully gave me the row containing "ewmining.com".
This is what is in the array "ewmining.com"
This is what is in the serach string "e.mining.com"
It seams that ArrayLib treats the dot to mean any character. Is this supposed to be the correct behavior? Is there a way to stop this behavior and search for exact match.
I really need help on this issue.
Thanks in advance for your help.
The dot usually represents "any character" in regular expressions. I am not familiar with ArrayLib, but maybe you should look for a way to turn off regular expressions when searching. Otherwise you might have to escape the dot, for example search for e[.]mining[.]com
