Moderators Melba23 Posted July 15, 2014 Moderators Share Posted July 15, 2014 wisem2540,You can do this easily with a RegEx - take a look at StringRegExp in the Help file. Then when your brain stop bleeding come back and we can discuss how you might create a suitable pattern - we will need some examples of both correct and incorrect strings.

wisem2540 Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 Thanks. I came up with this. In order to match ABC1234 $Result = StringRegExp ($String, 'textbefore(DDDdddd)TextAfter',3) D = Any Letter d = Any Number Working fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchd Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 D means "any non-digit character". For ANSI (default) that means anything not in [0..9] which may not be what you want in the general case. [[:alpha:]] is a Posix class which always means any english letter in the class [A-Za-z] for the default ANSI behavior.
