Question

Regex not extracting currency from a text string

I’m trying to extract currency from a text string but I get false returned.

I’m using [[:punct:]]currency[[:punct:]]:[[:punct:]]\s*(\w+) to extract GBP from the below text string:

{"product":["IR Forum \u2013 AI & Technology Europe - Corporate second release rate (Amount: 0.00 GBP, Quantity: 1)"],"currency":"GBP","tax":"0.00","total":"0.00","coupon":"VIPGUEST","stripeData":

Any advice?

Hi ​@PaulOC 

Here’s a different approach:

  • Action: Formatter > Text > Split
    • Split by: “currency”:”
    • Segment Index: Last
  • Action: Formatter > Text > Split
    • Split by: “
    • Segment Index: First

If you want to use regex, try this regex:

"currency"\s*:\s*"(\w+)"
