Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer
To extract an ID (e.g., alphanumeric) from the first paragraph of an nvarchar(max) column in Microsoft Fabric using STRING_ESCAPE, use STRING_SPLIT or CHARINDEX to isolate the first paragraph, apply STRING_ESCAPE, and a regex pattern.
Note: T-SQL does not natively support a REGEXP_SUBSTR function like Oracle/Snowflake. The solution below uses STRING_ESCAPE followed by pattern matching via PATINDEX and SUBSTRING to extract a typical alphanumeric ID.
