How to select a word between parenthesis in a attribute table ?

FatmaŞenol

Dear members,

I have a quick question and hope if you could kindly share your suggestions.

I'm trying to select words between parenthesis (i.e (Izmir). I've searched Geonet

for this specific task but ended up with no luck. I'm sending the screenshot

of the table. Thank you in advance.

Regards

Hi Omur,

You can accomplish this using a wildcard. For example, to do this with a feature class:

Place LIKE '%(Izmir)%'

Hi Jake,

Thank you for your help. I just have one more question. How can I

copy all the words between parenthesis not only the selected records ?

jskinner

Yes, after you make the selection use the syntax Darren specified in the field calculator.

!Place!.split('(')[1].split(')')[0]

Be sure to check 'Python' at the top of the Field Calculator.

Hello Jake,

Thank you for your suggestion. It worked . After I posted my original question I realized

that I also need to copy the words between the parenthesis to a new field. Could it be done

using Field Calculator ?

edit: the following is to extract the word between parentheses. If you are looking to simply select features based on the word between parentheses, follow Jake's advice below.

Using Python in field calculator:

!Place!.split('(')[1].split(')')[0]

Basically, split your original string by the character '(', take the second part of that, split it by ')', and take the first part of that.
