The step name in our process includes a torque value (e.g., “Install screw at (12 in-lbs)”) that needs to be used to load a corresponding table record. A regular expression, (\d+)\s*in-lbs, was created to extract this numerical value (12 in this example). However, attempting to save this expression results in a “Unclosed ‘(’ at character 1” error. The error suggests a syntax problem within the regex itself; however, the expression appears correctly formed when using 3rd party sites. Could the issue stem from a limitation? And is there a possible solution? A table record with ID 12 has been created to confirm the expected data format.
hi @Neo - Thanks for the question here!
Do you mind sharing your full expression? We tried this and didn’t see the error. Maybe you have an extra “(” in the expression?
Beth,
I understand my mistake. When trying to load a table record was entering
. It was a silly mistake but others may experience the same issue.
I appreciate your help. The expression works.
