Is there a way to capture the info which is not in a fixed location?

[jw]

Does anyone know how to capture the indexing value if it does not in a fixed location?


For example (case 1):

TRG*abcd*I want to capture this*20161101*


Case 2:

TRG*abcdefghij*I want to capture this as well*20161101*


Is there any way to capture the orange highlighted text for one of my indexing field? 

Thanks in advance.

Floating location can work in some cases but you are also asking for variable size.  Don't think that is possible with out using an Exit.   Given the sample data, I would use the index exit passing the whole line and then parse out the what you really want to capture.

Thanks Nolan.   

I was hoping I don't need to get into this avenue.  Thanks again.

Doesn't ACIF have support for RegEx searches for fields now?  Check that out.

Thanks Justin.

It looks like the RegEx is not available in CMOD 8.5, which is what we are using currently.

Has anyone done it in CMOD 9.5?
