String Parsing Question!!!

  • I'm trying to split a columns' content (String) into 3 part each will go to a new column.

    Example of the string (This part is usually text/S2/C2).

    The Columns will be called:

    "Product Name" = This part is usually text

    "SlotNumber" = S2

    "CarouselNumber" = C2

    I'm facing 3 problems:

    1. The part before the "/S" can vary in the length of Characters.

    2. The part after the "/S" can be 1, 2 or 3 digits (S16, S264, etc.)

    3. The column can be empty or missing one or two of the 3 parts.

    Can anyone help me please?

    Let me know if you need more clarification.

    Thanks

  • What character is separating the data in this field? In other worlds, what character denotes the separation of text, s2 and c2?

    Is it always the same character?

  • Since I only need the numbers that follows the S and C then I would guess this would be the seperator:

    "SlotNumber" = '/S'

    "CarouselNumber" = '/C'

  • Here are some actual examples in what can be in the column:

    MW3 Trailer/S2/C1

    /S255

    my apps/S1

    Or empty column (This column nullable)
