Extracts the first pattern match from a string.
Result = SRP_Regex("Extract", String, Pattern)
Returns
The substring that matched the pattern, if found, or "" if not.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| String | The target string to be pattern matched. (REQUIRED) |
| Pattern | The regex pattern. (REQUIRED) |
Remarks
The Extract service is a simplified version of the Search service. Instead of returning a structure of information, this service simply returns the actual substring that was matched. This is useful when you are using regex to parse out information.
Examples
String = 'Call 555-1212 for info'
Pattern = '((\d{3})(?:\.|-))?(\d{3})(?:\.|-)(\d{4})'
PhoneNum = SRP_Regex("Extract", String, Pattern)
