Split by capitalized word

Posted on 8 Apr 2020 12:31:18 by 70

I am trying to achieve a split, I have a super good marker which is first('BONJOUR') followed by the name and a last(''',''') . Works super great but 'Bonjour' is a  common greating in french so everytime someone reply 'Bonjour' this change what I want to extract. The never use 'BONJOUR' as a greating. There are no marker I can use in the HTML to extract the name, I would need to ask for a code change and this is not the time as online orders are through the roof. 

 

So my question is, is there anyway i could split using capitalized 'BONJOUR'?

 

Thank you

    Hi @yanni99,

     

    Yes, you could use a capitalized word to separate words, I guess the situation you are facing is to extract names from Emails or messages, but some additional keywords (Bonjour) will disrupt the extraction process, that what we are facing usually. The capitalized word is a good idea to do it and it indeed could work in split() function, there is an instance you could refer to:

    Hi there.  So, the split() function seems to be case sensitive.  I tried splitting the phrase "Bonjour World" on BONJOUR, and it didn't pick it up until I matched the casing.  

     

    If you are unfamiliar with this function, check the docs and this fun video:
