Search for number in URL

Questions & Suggestions

Hi, I have a macro that gets copies a URL to the clipboard. I'd then like to extract a number from the URL and feel like the solutiuon is regex but I have no idea what I'm doing.

Here's my workflow so far:

Command + L puts the cursor in the URL box and Command + C copies it. Now I'd like to find a number.

Here's an example URL:
https://example.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=196475&action=edit&classic-editor and I'd like to extract the number 196475

Thanks in advance for any help.

If the format of the URL is always exactly like that, so that you have:
post=<IntegerNumber>

then you can use this RegEx:
(?i)post=(\d+)

For details, see https://regex101.com/r/0uSmdo/1/

Use this RegEx in a KM Search using Regular Expression action

You can test any RegEx using Regex101.com
