Hi Naveen,

In the expression editor, check out the logic function IsNumber. Using that with a loop should allow you to accomplish this task.

Add input and output
'Will be populated with each cell of column
Dim columnList As List(Of String)
'Setting regex filter
Dim filter As New Regex(regexFilter)

Dim matchList As New List(Of String)

'Every cell in column to list
columnList = (From r In CollectionIn.AsEnumerable() Select r.Field(Of String)(columnName)).ToList()

'Go through each cell
For Each cell As String In columnList
	'Add every match to list
	For Each regexMatch as Match in filter.Matches(cell)
	matchList.Add(regexMatch.Value)
	Next
Next
matchList = matchList.GroupBy(Function(x) x).Select(Function(x) x.First).ToList()

CollectionOut = New DataTable
CollectionOut.Columns.Add("Values", GetType(String))
For Each match As String in MatchList
CollectionOut.Rows.Add(match)
Next

There is some useful information on syntax here Naveen. Once inside a code stage, a BP collection is represented as a .Net datagrid.
