Based on your description, I created data to reproduce your scenario. The pbix file is attached in the end.

[
  f=   {"a".."z","A".."Z",";","-",",","(",")","/",".","-","_","#","№","@","?",":","!","%","&","$","#","*","+",">","<","""","<<","«","»"},
  to = Text.Combine(List.Select( Splitter.SplitTextByAnyDelimiter(f)([Noh]),(x)=> Text.Length(x)>=8))
 ][to]

First, thanks for your answer.

 

Many of my cases are good with your solution but I don't understand it, so can't adjust with some other not right cases.

 

Could you explain me?
