It waa for idea 🙂

However, if you can share the C# code which works in Visual Studio , i can give a shot to make it an object which u can use.

Hi Vivek,

The C# code can be found here on this discussion.
The original one.
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/0e2a357d-9281-47e8-ad1a-f6dbea24d92b/filtering-a-datatable-using-regularexpression?forum=regexp

My code is tweaked based on this MSDN code.

The object has in start inputs: myCollection as Collection that has to be filtered, myColumn as Text which is the Column Name that has to be filtered and the ReGex pattern as Text that contains the regex that has to be used for filtering the myColumn of myCollection. The same inputs are to be found into the Code Stage.

Output from Code stage is table as Collection , the table that is filtered based on regex. The same output is in the end also.

Thank you in advance.

Hi there, 
On filtered collection try to use DataTable.Copy()
and assign it to the output Collection variable in the BluePrism.

Hope that will work for you.
