The very first thing you need to do is to profile your data. You need to know exactly what your data looks like - what it contains - in order to decide how best to extract what you're looking for. Using the extract() function may not be the best option for the data you have. Do you have the results of such a data profiling? And some more information about exactly what you're trying to extract from the data? Is it even possible that what you should be doing is ensuring the data is written to the database in a cleaner, better way than it is now (i.e. have you considered solving the problem upstream from where you current are looking?)
the thing is that in my case I have an old database with years of inconsistent work the information is not in an specific field. this could be inside one of two fields that are foreign keys to 2 different tables Inside this tables there are some lines with addresses and in the middle of this addresses I could find What I’m looking for is not a field or something could be in the middle of the line 1 or line 2 or line 3 in the first table or in the second My approach worked for almost every month but I found two months that are throwing me this error I want to prevent this from happening ICould fix this two inconsistent month just fixing the data issue but it won’t prevent this from happening in the future that’s why I asked for a way of doing this or another approach.
this is how it look when i search for a valid date
this is one pic of the fields that this could be in billaddr of shippingaddr is not always at the beginning of the line 2 could be in any part of one of this lines or in the shipping addr in in the middle of of any of this lines
Should I pose a question on my own? stick merge
I am trying with various combinations, but it is not working. I just need the regular expression which I can use in JMETER which can do the above. regex jmeter. 1v1 battle
