I'm trying to match a character variable pattern. It is of the form "000-ABCD" (three digits, dash, four capital alpha characters).
I used the following code, but it must be incorrect as it did not return anything:
data blah;set blah;if prxmatch('/\d{3}-\[A-Z]{4}/', refid);run;
data blah; input refid $40.; cards; 000-ABCD 0A0-ABCD ; data want; set blah; if prxmatch('/\d{3}-[A-Z]{4}/', refid); run;
It's finally time to hack! Remember to visit the SAS Hacker's Hub regularly for news and updates.
