RegexExp to extract value between parentheses

I am trying to use the following formula to return the value that is between parentheses in a field. For some reason it is just returning the exact same value. I am pretty sure this REGEX is valid. regexp(bv_epic_tpi_inventory_report.hcco, '/\(([^)]+)\)/', '/\(([^)]+)\)/') Any suggestions to get this working? This is what one of the values looks like: YADAV, DEEPAK (deedee@company.com) and this is what I want returned deedee@company.com Is there another (easy) way to do this?

Hi, The REGEXP function replaces each substring of the input string that matches the given regular expression, with the given replacement. Therefore you are simply replacing the matching conditions with the same one again. If you would like to get the email from the string, you might consider using SPLIT function to delimit the string by whitespace, and get the email from the array that is created from the SPLIT function. You can refer to the [Text Processing Functions](https://community.denodo.com/docs/html/browse/7.0/vdp/vql/appendix/syntax_of_condition_functions/text_processing_functions#split) section of the Virtual DataPort VQL Guide for more information. Hope this helps!
