hi, i've been experimentin with regex patterns and wondered about replicating in power query,
so this does seem to work, but can anyone suggest simpler / better way, so here i want to test for a pattern of
any 2 characters, then "abc" then any two characters end.
so regex ;
=REGEXTEST("xxabcxx","^.{2}abc.{2}$",1)
in power qeuery i have;
let
Source = #table(type table [sometext], {{"xxabcxx"}}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(
Source,
"Custom",
each
let
f = Text.Start([sometext], 2),
e = Text.End([sometext], 2),
m = Text.Middle([sometext], 2, 3)
in
f & m & e = [sometext]
)
in
#"Added Custom"Richard.
Solved! Go to Solution.
You would want to check that you string has exactly 7 characters. Then you would only need to test for Text.Middle.
Word of advice: Power Query is case sensitive.
