Parsing Data Using Regex to Return Desired Values
I need to parse rows of data to extract a 3-4 letter code which is in all caps and create a new column containing those codes (RHL in this example)
Inv RHL - Earn/Loss
I can't use left/right functions because each account will have a different # of characters on each side of the code. Regex in replace text only allows you to return a constant value if the pattern is hit, I need it to return the solution of the regex formula. Can DOMO do this?

Are there any other sort of identifiers on how to extract the code? Is it always [space]AAA[space] for the format? Would that ever appear multiple times in the string?

Yes, there is an identifier I can use. I know how to write the formula to identify the codes, I'm wondering if Domo can pull out values from the middle of the rows and put them in a new column?

Not exactly pull out a match but you can use REGEXP_REPLACE to fin the string and remove everything else from it.
REGEXP_REPLACE(`value`, '^.*(MATCHCODE).*$', '$1')
