Hi all, Does anyone know a good regex to extract the following ID number from the URL? [https://www.shutterstock.com/video/clip-](https://www.shutterstock.com/video/clip-) **1076280362** -bullet-casing-falling-wet-ground-crime-scene I appreciate all the help! I’ve been searching and testing but can’t crack this one. ---

Hi there, @rosshelton… if the format is always the same, you could use Bubble’s _:split by_ operator, with the character to split by being a dash. Then, add the _:item #_ operator to the end of the expression and set the item number as 2, and you should get the ID number in return. Hope this helps. Best… Mike ---

Thanks Mike! I’m trying to achieve the the whole thing using regex. I will have multiple url types with IDs in different places. I will need to use the same extract with Regex workflow but with a different regex patterns for the different URLs. I appreciate your thought! ---

Okay, I will give it one more shot. I don’t pretend to be a regex expert, but a quick text using the _:extract with Regex_ operator on your URL with the super simple regex of `[0-9]+` extracted the ID number. If’ that’s not what you need, then I’m out. 🙂 ---

It’s possible that the name may have numbers in them. [https://www.shutterstock.com/video/clip-1076280362-](https://www.shutterstock.com/video/clip-1076280362-) **bullet-casing-falling-wet-ground-crime-** ---

> [@mikeloc](#): > > [0-9]+ Although, maybe that is the winner. It seems to only match the first instance. 😀 ---

Another quick test on this end shows that it will find additional strings of numbers, and they will be comma separated. So, if you add the _:first item_ operator to the end of the expression, you could have what you need. ---

I was just seeing the same. I think the first item trick might be a winner on this! Thanks so much! ---
