This should also work, right Gysbert?

If(Index(MyString, 'lable1') > 0, 'lable1') as MyField

what happen if i want to find lable* in that string and store lable* value under the column lable

May be this:

If(WildMatch(MyString, 'Lable*'), 'lable' & Left(SubField(MyString, 'Lable', 2), 1)) as MyNewField

Assuming all text strings are comma separated lists you can do something like this:

LOAD

     MySubstring as MyField,

     ...other fields...

WHERE Left(MySubstring, 5) = 'lable';

LOAD

     subfield(MyString, ',') as MySubString,

     ...other fields...

FROM

     ...

This works but problem is in my column lable we can predict number of characters,

ex - Lable_1

       Lable_100

       Lable_5454

So we can't have

'lable' & Left(SubField(MyString, 'Lable', 2), 1)
