Openrefine，匹配括号内的文本

Question

I'm having cells like

10 (1880 15) ; 11 (1880 15) ; 12 (1880 15) ; 7 (1880 15) ; 3 (1880 15) ; 9 (1880 15) ; 2 (1880 15) ; 1 (1880 15) ; 4 (1880 15) ; 5 (1880 15) ; 6 (1880 15) ; 8 (1880 15)

and I want to take all the text inside the parentheses. Using this expression it gives me a Null result:

value.match(/\(.*?\)/)

Why that? Thanks

Answer 1

The match function does not work as you think . It is very counter-intuitive. That's why since Open Refine 3 there is a find function that does exactly what you want.

value.find(/\(.*?\)/)
