Regex to extract information from string

vkana

Hi all,

I have the following city names ending by "CEDEX [0-9]":

MONACO CEDEX 15
PARIS LA DEFENSE CEDEX
AJACCIO CEDEX 1
CLERMONT FERRAND CEDEX 1
PARIS LA DEFENSE CEDEX
MARSEILLE CEDEX 07
DIJON CEDEX
TOURS CEDEX 9

I would like to keep only city name

How can I use Regex in Dataiku to obtain this result?

The result must be:

MONACO
PARIS LA DEFENSE
AJACCIO
CLERMONT FERRAND
PARIS LA DEFENSE
MARSEILLE
DIJON
TOURS

Could anyone help me please?

Thank you so much

Hi Vkana,

You can use the 'Extract with regular expression processor' in a Prepare recipe to get the desired values.

From your example, a valid regex would be: ^(.*?)\sCEDEX\s?\d*$

You can use online resources such as https://regex101.com/ if you want to further modify the regex to fit with your business requirements.
