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?
Awesome! Glad you figured it out. Definitely could help others in the future, so thanks for sharing
