Hello All, How to extract text in a column after a word and a delimiter? For example, I want to extract text after "data." in a column.
key.0.chek.1.data.folder1
Extracting after the "." delimiter does not work, since it has no fixed position.
Regards
@koorosh sir, you keep on asking multiple questions on the same post, you should follow some general forum principles, and ask as many questions as you want, but keep each question seperate post and whatever question is solved, mark that as an answer.
End of the day, you don't want this one post with TONS of questions. Thank you!

Thanks . How about with more conditions? For instance filter the records have the following content.
time_file_link, _class tag
@koorosh add any filter on the column and then change it to this :
Text.Contains([col1], "*.tags.*"

This code will result
"items.0.tags.0.type" also.
But I need just
"items.*.tags.*.value"
@koorosh add a new column in PQ using this M code:
Text.AfterDelimiter([col1],"data.")

@koorosh why not use "data." as a delimiter if you want to extract after "data"
