Dear all,  
the text parser does not work.  
I used regex {P-\d+}} to get only the Number P-001, P-002, etc.

Hi @Joachim_M_Vis,

The text parser does what you ask it to do, if it doesn’t work, the regex is off. To extract text between curly braces `{}` from the string, you can use the following regex pattern:

`\{([^}]+)\}`

This pattern will match any text enclosed within `{}`.

Tip: you can use the AI to generate regex for you:

Cheers,

Great and it worked! How is it if I have many texts with {} and want to choose?
