I have a string with three different texts inside the exact line, separated by a _
I want a regex to extract the first part of the data, a regex for the second, and one for the last part.
The string is like xxxxxx_yyyyyyy_zzzzzz (where x, y, and z it’s random data).
I have tried this:
^[^_]*
But I can only figure out how to match the first part of the data for x.
>Solution :
You haven’t given us what programming language you are using regex from. But, generally, this is what you want:
^([^_]+)_([^_]+)_([^_]+)$
The parenthesis are "capturing groups" which can then be referred to as \x, $x, some other way where x is 1, 2 or 3. That depends on your regex implementation and programming language. Using your example string, \2 would be yyyyyyy.
