Formula to extract string from entity name

Hi

I have the following situation:


{entityid} on a customer record shows just the customer id for the record in question when viewing the customer record..

When using {entityid} in a saved search, this shows "ACC_ name of parent customer : ACC__name of child customer"


I am trying to use a formula to split the parent and child customer ids from the {entityid} field.


I can't seem to find anything online that explains what the search patterns in the REGEXP_REPLACE or REGEXP_SUBSTR mean so I am guessing on how to do this.


In this case, the "ACC__" customer id code I am interested in is the second occurrence of that string since that is the child customer.
