Hi
Please help me i want to get the number value in the bracket ()
456test(tata)(123)
i want 123 from the example
the number in the bracket changes record by record so i want the number from the bracket
thanks

not goo dwith regex but if the format stays the same you could:
**Get the value of the field you are working with and assign it to a String called theString**
Sting[] sVal = New String[]();
sVal = theString.split('(');
sVal[2].replace(')','');
then sVal[2] should equal 123
I am sure there are better ways but this should work until you get regex figured out.......which reminds me, I need to do some reading...:)
i am getting this expextion
System.StringException: Invalid regex: Unclosed group near index 1 ( ^
my code
String selectvalue = '456TATA(Test)(123)';
list<String> sVal = new list<string>();
sVal = selectvalue.split('(');
sVal[2].replace(')','');
thanks

Sorry, forgot to escape the (
Hi
Thanks for your replay I have done it brfore but i wont the number value in the bracket even if it changes to
456TATA(Test)(ncnc)(123)
the value changes every time. some time it would be 456TATA(Test)(ncnc)(123) or it may change to
456TATA(123) or 456(123)(Test) etc
So i am using reg expression so that i can get number only
Thanks

Again, not familiar with Regex but I do believe if the format constantly changes (i.e. the number is the 2nd pattern, or the 3rd pattern at times, etc it will be difficult. It can be done as long as the value in the ( ) that you want is ALWAYS a number, and the value in the other ( ) is ALWAYS alpha.
You basically want to pattern match (?# any number) and return the numbers. I know that someone here is good with regex, I will do some reading int he meantime
I believe this will return the number between the ( and )
^?(\d+)
incorporating it into code, still need to read more. It does work in a regex builder though.
