Good morning,

It is possible to resolve this case in the script with the functions "replace" and "subfield".
You can create, since the field "Project Number Column", the fields "Project Number" and "Job_ID" like this :
subfield(replace(replace("Project Number Column",'-',' '),'_',' '),' ',1) as [Project Number],
subfield(replace(replace("Project Number Column",'-',' '),'_',' '),' ',1) as JobID

The pictures can help you.

Kind regards,

Have you always the same kind of pattern?
For example either <projectnumber>_<jobid> ,  <projectnumber> <jobid> or <projectnumber>.<jobid>?
If this is the case, you can use:
Subfield(Replace(Replace([Project Number Column],'.','_'),chr(32),'_'),'_',1) as [Project Number]
,Subfield(Replace(Replace([Project Number Column],'.','_'),chr(32),'_'),'_',2) as [Job_ID]

You can try to use the function subfield() to split your values !

@suhascool1 My best approach with, You add as many messy character to Map table.

 

Map:
Mapping load * inline [
Source, Destination
-, %
_, %
];
 
LOAD [Project Number Column],
SubField(Replace(MapSubString('Map', [Project Number Column]), chr(32),'%'), '%', 1) as First,
SubField(Replace(MapSubString('Map', [Project Number Column]), chr(32),'%'), '%', 2) as Second
FROM
(html, utf8, UserAgent is 'Mozilla/5.0', embedded labels, table is @1);
