Combine multiple regex pattern module into 1

[Fahad_Sheji]

Hey, I have an automation that uses multiple regex patterns to extract specific details such as name, date etc.

Is there a way I could combine all the regex pattern module into one?

The current one works perfectly but looks a bit cluttered

Here are the regex patterns used in each module

1. ([^|\n]+) | ([^\s@]+@[^\s@]+) | (\d+)
2. Location:\s(.+)
3. Case Lead ID: #(.+)
4. Case Description:\s±\s*(.+)

Hi @Fahad_Sheji ,

As a non-expert in Regex, I can try to help you. I think one way to do this is by combining all of the Regex pattern modules into one using the OR operator | and naming the groups to easily parse them afterwards.
If I remember correctly, Make will output the matches with their group name which makes it easier to get the right result afterwards.

Ref.: Groups and backreferences - JavaScript | MDN

Named capturing group: Matches “x” and stores it on the groups property of the returned matches under the name specified by <Name>. The angle brackets (< and >) are required for group name.
For example, to extract the United States area code from a phone number, we could use /\((?<area>\d\d\d)\)/. The resulting number would appear under matches.groups.area.

@Fahad_Sheji As @Callinetic said you can combine them with an OR and aggregate them at the end. Take a look at some of the other posts which explain this:

How to use Regex in Make?

In regular cases it’s very usefull to use Regex (or Regular Expressions) if you want to extract or replace data in some text. When there always is a similar pattern in your text data, regex is ideal to use. But how can you use regex? What is a Regex? Here an addition of @alex.newpath: First, a regex is a text string. For instance, foo is a regex. So is [A-Z]+:\d+. Those text strings describe patterns to find text or positions within a body of text. For instance, the regex foo matches the str…

RegEx getting multiple values out of Text Parser

@Nate Make it’s Text parser needs every output section to be grouped. If you don’t group it, it will not output it. It would looke like the following (only did the first 2 parts): (?<date>(?<=Date:\* )(.+?)(?=\n))|(?<duration>(?<=Duration:\* )(.+?)(?= s\n)) [Screenshot_175] Hope this helps you out!

I have a scenario that does just that, using named capture groups.
Just add (?) to your group and you’ll end up having each named group as one variable – and you can have as many as needed in one single module.

If you provide a sample text I can try help you out with the Regex, but as you already have the code, it should be just a matter of adapt it (maybe marking each line start, for instance).
