How can I apply regex to a variable, so then I can store that result in another variable?

You can use the calculation stage to perform your regex operation and store that result in different variable.

Hello Lucia,

You can use the Utility - Strings VBO and the Extract Regex Values action to obtain a regex expression from a string;

You can use this site to test your expressions with examples: https://regex101.com/

Dear Lucia

Add Calculate stage: Drag and drop a Calculate stage onto your process diagram.

Configure the stage:

Input: Select the input variable where you want to apply the regex.
Calculation Expression: Define the regex pattern or function to perform the operation.
Output: Specify the output variable where you want to store the result.
Specify the regex pattern:

Use regex functions such as Regex.Match, Regex.Replace, or Regex.Split to perform the desired operation.
Provide the regex pattern within the function parameters.

Hi @lulis
Can you specify the context a little bit more on what you are trying to achieve?
Normally utility Strings solves the purpose.
In this example below it extracts all the numbers from a sample text and puts them into a collection.

Depending on business scenario, the required regex pattern should be used.
Sample regex patterns can be found in the below link

JavaScript RegExp Reference (w3schools.com)

If you find the answer useful, you can mark as best solution.
Thanks
