Hi Everyone,
I have a string of characters and I need the value in double parentheses.
How can I do?
Data is: SUBJECT NOT ELIGIBLE (LOW NEUTROPHIL COUNT (1.3))
I'd like to extract "(LOW NEUTROPHIL COUNT (1.3))".
Thanks!
Here is one way
data test;
string="SUBJECT NOT ELIGIBLE (LOW NEUTROPHIL COUNT (1.3))";
pID = prxparse('/\((.*?)\)+/');
call prxsubstr(pID, string, pos, length);
newstring=substr(string, pos, length);
run;

Anytime, glad to help 🙂
data test; string="SUBJECT NOT ELIGIBLE (LOW NEUTROPHIL COUNT (1.3))"; newstring=prxchange('s/[^(]*(\(.+\)).*/$1/',1,string); run;
