How to remove letters/chars preceding last '-' in a string
Hi all, i have a column comprising of text of letters and characters followed by country name -> SC/K-UGANDA, SN/KG-AMERICA,TT-NG-PERU ......etc. I only want to populate the country name.
Please advise how i can do this using recipe in DataIKU or what step/code can i add.

thanks for the tip @Manuel another option would be splitting the column on '-'and truncating the outcome to the last occurance of that '-'. or the last two if '-'-containing countries is a concern.
cheers!

In a Prepare recipe, add a "Extract with Regular Expression" processor and then use the Smart Pattern Builder.

Hi Manuel, thanks for the tip. But i am not able to find the Smart Pattern Builder. Maybe mine is a lower version. However, really appreciate your kind advise as i now know the existence of this builder. Thank you and have a great weekend!
