REGEX Extracting Names
Hello, Regex question here..
I am attempting to extract names from a string similiar to this but haven't had any luck:
Submitter:
["Joe Smith ","Jill Smith"]
I would like to retain the commas between names so that I can split these values to different columns afterwards, like this:
Desired Result:
Joe Smith, Jill Smith
Any suggestions on a regular expression that will perform this in ETL would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Mycah

I would use the formula tile and use the replace function multiple times to remove those characters.
Something like this:
REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(fieldname,'[',''),']',''),'"','')

Are you simply looking to just remove the open and close brackets and the double quotes?

Hi @GrantSmith. I am looking to remove the open and close brackets, double quotes, and return the result into a new column. Preserving the comma so that I can split the names into multiple columns later.
I was attempting to complete this with the Replace Text tile in ETL. But had no luck.
