Hi @Emil_Kos,

I found HackerRank had a reasonable practical based introduction: https://www.hackerrank.com/domains/regex

Additionally tools like regexr.com are very good for testing things out

Hi @jdunkerley79,

Thank you for your help.

From my understanding regex can have small differences between programming languages. Do you know if the one on HackerRank have the same structure as the one in Alteryx?

I will definitely check the Hacker rank I used it for the SQL in the past and those challenges has been really awesome. I will mark your accept as a solution later but I want to hear other feedback.

Maybe there are other interesting resources that I should explore.

Alteryx's Regex is based off the C++ Boost library (at least pre AMP - think still true for AMP)

https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_66_0/libs/regex/doc/html/index.html

It is a Perl compatible so if you do HackerRank in Perl mode will get same answers.

The difference between versions of RegEx wont stop you learning the main concepts anyway and will mostly not stop you writing expressions.
