Using TRIM in QUERY Match

This is driving me nuts so I beg for assistance!



I have this query



"Select A, B where UPPER(H) matches
'.*(?:^|,|,s)"&REGEXEXTRACT(Q3,"^[^[{]+")&"(?:,s|,|$).*' limit 1",0)


But I need to change the match so that ignore spaces. Ideally I would just wrap Q3 in a trim but don't think I can do that.



Thanks in advance

          A [^[{] pattern matches any char but [ and { and thus also matches whitespace.



          You may match any amount of whitespaces at the start, then capture any amount of chars other than [, {, and then match a char other than [, { or whitespace:



          =REGEXEXTRACT(B40,"^s*([^[{]*[^[{s])")


          Details





          • ^ - start of string


          • s* - 0+ whitespaces


          • ([^[{]*[^[{s]) - Group 1:



            • [^[{]* - 0+ chars other than [ and {


            • [^[{s] - a single char other than [, { and whitespace.

            A [^[{] pattern matches any char but [ and { and thus also matches whitespace.



            You may match any amount of whitespaces at the start, then capture any amount of chars other than [, {, and then match a char other than [, { or whitespace:



            =REGEXEXTRACT(B40,"^s*([^[{]*[^[{s])")


            Details
