Hey @petit-ricard,

Here is a regex string that will work:  
`[^,]+`

Also, because you are retrieving a list of channel\_name’s rather than just one, you also need to insert a comma between all those before you run the regex. You use :join with “,” (just type a comma, the double quotes will be added for you.)

Here’s what it looks like:

Which turns this:

Into this:

Hope that helps!
