Hi!
I have values that look like this:
VAR_NAME
(3) left hearing 12JAN2017
(14) right hearing 30JAN2017
The only thing i need to capture from this value are the numbers within the parentheses. Can someone help me use a scan or substr to capture this (or other function) ?
Thanks!
new_var=scan(var_name, 1, '()');
if the pattern is exactly the same as your sample-
new_var=compress(scan(var_name, 1), '()');
new_var=scan(var_name, 1, '()');
