Description

With the regex parser you can quite simply parse a string and extract the parts of it that is of interest.

Often there's composite fields in your data, for example office codes in this format:

  • Office-A-Room-1
  • Office-A-Room-2
  • Office-B-Room-6
  • Office-B-Room-7
  • etc...

With the regex parser you can easily extract the parts of interest in such a composite field (eg. the office and room names) with a regular expression that defines the groups of interest:
  • Office-([A-Z])-Room-([0-9])

At Human Inference's knowledge team we've found that this little transformer is extremely useful for simple checking and parsing!
