I don't understand. It works perfectly fine here. Did you copy paste the solution?

Hi All,

All the solutions are working fine but have a small issue with the data.

Some special characters are there within my data.

Code:
1| bbbbbbbbbb mmmmmmm MN101 --special characters -- and some text here

so the output was

Code:
1| bbbbbbbbbb mmmmmmm MN101

But i want the output like below

Code:
1| bbbbbbbbbb mmmmmmm MN101 --special characters -- and some text here

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
