How to match number in parentheses?

Question

The task is quite simple: extract number from a pair of parentheses in a string.

For example: "3" from "Abc_Def_Gh(3)_Ijk"

But I get "(3)" with formula Regex(:String_Column, "$([0-9])$").

So the questions is that how can I specify where the match start. Any pointer to more detailed JMP Regex document are welcome.

Thanks,

Dong

You need a second argument with a replace pattern. Otherwise Regex() returns the result of the search.

Try something like this. Should retrieve integer of any length but only if inside parantheses.

my_string = "Abc_Def_Gh(12)_Ijk_45";

Num( Regex( my_string, "$(\d+)$", "\1" ) );
