I want to use regex to extract nine digits from a string in Blueprism

Question

I have the following string:

ABCD/SESSION REMARKS/SESSION REMARKS_002FT2213700215_ /CODTYPTR/049 //R101841246/058  Session 220517080                                                  REF: 02024741031486605002FT221

And i want to extract the nine digits that from "R101841246".

I have tried using Extract Regex in Utility - Strings of Blueprism , using the regex pattern (?<Lower>\d{9}) but the code is extracting 221370021, the first nine digits from SESSION REMARKS_002FT2213700215_ .

I need a regex that will strictly extract nine consecutive digits and ignore occurrences where there is over nine digits

Answer 1

here is one way do it

(?<=\/\/).(\d){9}(?=\/)

(?<=//): look behind for //
. : then any character
(\d){9}: capture the 9 digits
(?=/): and lookahead /

Answer 2

You can use

\bR-?(?<Lower>\d{9})\b

Here, it matches

• \b - a word boundary
• R - an R letter
• -? - an optional hyphen
• (?<Lower>\d{9}) - nine digits captured into Group "Lower"
• \b - a word boundary.

See the regex demo .
