Hi,

 

im trying to extract a substring from a LDAP query output, but I cant figure out how I can extract just the content of the group.

My pattern looks like this:
`CN=(.*?),OU=*.?Department`

The date im running it on looks like this, there are a few more lines like this with different names and departments:
`CN=Firstname Lastname,OU=Department,OU=Company,DC=Company,DC=local`

 

The data i wish to get is `Firstname Lastname`.

Hi @mwalk 


Here is one possible solution.


 


String (string is without quotes, right?)


`CN=Firstname Lastname,OU=Department,OU=Company,DC=Company,DC=local`


 


Regex - Extract 


(CN=[w|s]*),(OU=[w|s]*)


Result: 'CN=Firstname Lastname,OU=Department'


 


Regex - Extract 


(CN=[w|s]*)


Result: 'CN=Firstname Lastname'


 


If you just wanted 'Firstname Lastname', you need a second Regex to replace the 'CN=' with '' (blank or empty chars) 


 


Cheers


 

Yes, that works. Thanks a lot!
