Hi all,
It's report a weird behaviour of the
Extract Information operator of the
Text Processing extension :
I have a very simple dataset (Excel file in attached file):

I want to extract in the two last lines :
- the action following the word "perform" ie "BLUETOOTH_CONTROL_S4" and "BLUETOOTH_SOURCE_S4" in a new attribute called "action"
- the number in the brackets ie "2" in a new attribute called "number".
As a results, I'm obtaining the following dataset (the "number" attribute is empty) :

I precise that my regex in the
Extract Information parameters is correct :

In conclusion I have no problem with my first attribute "action", the information is correctly extracted.
I precise that I performed a test with
Generate Extract operator (see the 2nd screenshot) and with this operator, the number "2" is correctly extracted...
How can we explain this behaviour ?
Regards,
Lionel
