Extracting a number from SmartValue

[KB]

Hi, I want to create a Variable by extracting a number out of a string using regex. I did not find any documentation on how to do that. Is this even possible?

Imagine

Version 5.3

I want to extract the 3 part, like

Version 5.(\d+)

But how to do that in the "Create variable" action?

Hello @KB 

You should be able to use the match function with a regex against a string representation of the fields value.

Refer to:

This indeed worked,

This is how I extract the number and increase it by 1.

{{#=}}{{version.name.match(".*[0-9]\.(\d+).*").asNumber}} + 1{{/}}
