You could try the following regex:
(.*?STY).*?((COY|NCY|CNY)ORGxxx).*
And replace it with:
$1$2
Where:
- $1 represents all characters until the first "STY"
- $2 represents COYORGxxx or NCYORGxxx or CNYORGxxx
سؤال
I am using VBA to filter records in an MS Access Database I first need to clean the data in a particular column
An example item in this column would be XXXZZZSTYS1234NCYORGxxxASD
What i would like to do is if the string contains STY
then remove subsequent characters until you reach COYORGxxx
or NCYORGxxx
or CNYORGxxx
and then remove any characters after the ORGxxx
if they exist
So in the example above it would be cleaned to XXXZZZSTYNCYORGxxx
It doesn't have to be VBA, I use notepad++ to test it

You could try the following regex:

And replace it with:
$1$2
Where:

There you go.
(.*STY).*((CO|NC|CN)YORGxxx).*
(.*STY) will catch every string of characters up to STY
.* will skip characters until next catch
((CO|NC|CN)YORGxxx) will catch any string starting with CO, NC or CN followed by YORGxxx
and the last .* is just here to ensure the match (not necessary in this specific example)
You then only need to replace with $1$2, $n representing the n-th catch of the regex.
