NSC | Saved Search Formula to get a String in the Value of a Field
Scenario
User has the following value in entityid field: abcde fghijk(53qw4ertyuiop12345a67s89)
They need to pull just the 53qw4ertyuiop12345a67s89 from that string/pattern.
Solution
Use either of these in a Formula (Text) field in the search Results:
- REPLACE(REGEXP_SUBSTR({entityid},'[^(]+$'),')','')
- Using this will pull the string between the parenthesis.
- SUBSTR({entityid}, INSTR({entityid}, '(') + 1, 24)
- Using this will pull the first 24 characters after the opening parenthesis. Use this if you need to get only a specific number of characters after the ( symbol.
