Yes I prefer nested too instead of 2 or 3 set fields.. as its probably a more optimal way of processing the calculation instead of calculating, and writing the results to a temp field and calculating and writing the results again and again..

Remedy doesn't have Regex by default, but you can access them using one of the next two tricks: 1.- You can use Regex using a direct SQL and using a SELECT that computes the regex. Oracle has Regex, and I think that MS SQL also has. 2.- Install a filter-plugin to use Regex, like this one: https://communities.bmc.com/communities/thread/53307?start=0&tstart=0 Another option is to create a filter guide with a loop to detect the patter erase it and substitute by your own. Misi is an expert doing such things. It remain at Remedy, but is harder to do and slower to compute.
