I need to extract just the measure units from blood test text I've got, i.e.. "K/UL","M/UL","%",etc. at the following text:
WBC 4.27-11.40 k/uL 3.64 (L)
RBC 3.90-5.03 m/uL 4.30
Hemoglobin 10.6-13.4 g/dL 13.0
Hematocrit 32.2-39.8 % 36.1
MCV 74.4-87.6 fL 84.0
MCH 24.8-29.5 pG 30.2 (H)
MCHC 31.8-34.9 g/dL 36.0 (H)
RDW-CV 12.2-14.4 % 13.2
Platelet Count 150-400 k/uL 175
MPV 9.2-11.4 fL 8.6 (L)
Neut% 28.6-74.5 % 43.1
Abs Neut (ANC) 1.63-7.87 k/uL 1.57 (L)
Lymph% 15.5-57.8 % 43.7
Abs Lymph 0.97-4.28 k/uL 1.59
Mono% 4.2-12.3 % 9.3
Abs Mono 0.19-0.85 k/uL 0.34
Eosin% 0.0-4.7 % 3.6
Abs Eosin 0.00-0.52 k/uL 0.13
Baso% 0.0-0.7 % 0.3
Abs Baso 0.00-0.06 k/uL 0.01
Which means I need to recognize '-'+number+' '+Unit to Extract
I tried to use Negative look behind expression (?<!-[0-9]?!([0-9]*[.])?[0-9]+ )(\D)+ , which means to match only non digits if there is a '-' char followed with a float number, but it yields zero matches.
Please note that I'm using SAS (i.e. Perl RegEx).
