Re: How to get the dollar value from this text string?

regex101.com is a good place to get explanations for regexes. The period means any character. The asterisk means match as as many characters as you can find. By default it is greedy which means it will try and grab as many characters as it can. The N is just an N. So you are telling it to match any characters up until you get to a capital N. Because it's greedy, it will find the last capital N. For regex_replace, if you don't provide a third parameter then it defaults to blanks. So - regex_replace(source_string,'.*N') mean convert everything up to and including the last capital N, and replace it with blanks.
