REGEXEXTRACT

REGEXEXTRACT

Extracts text that matches the pattern. 
Syntax 

REGEXEXTRACT(text, regular_expression, [return_mode], [case_sensitivity])

text: The text given as input.

regular_expression: The first part of text that matches this expression will be returned.

return_modeA number that specifies what strings you want to extract. By default, return mode is 0. The possible values are:
0: Return the first string that matches the pattern
1: Return all strings that match the pattern as an array
2: Return capturing groups from the first match as an array
Note: Capturing groups are parts of a regex pattern surrounded by parentheses "(...)". They allow you to return separate parts of a single match individually.
case_sensitivity: Determines whether the match is case-sensitive. By default, the match is case-sensitive. Enter one of the following:
0: Case sensitive
1: Case insensitive
