11/21/2019, 7:26 PMWhy are you using regex? Why not just use
string.subString(0, string.indexOf("fav-variety"))m

11/21/2019, 7:27 PM@Andy Gibel that works for this example, rest can have different names and diff numbers

fav_varietya
Andy Gibel
11/21/2019, 7:28 PMThis works for any names, it just assumes first number is single digit and unit is 2 characters
Andy Gibel
11/21/2019, 7:29 PMoh the dash is not special - it's part of the first name?
Andy Gibel
11/21/2019, 7:30 PMthen yeah I guess split on
fav_varietym
