In RegEx * after a word means what?

I want to match "Stone" using RegEx. The column has different version of the word "Stone" like Stone, stone, stone 124, stone aa12 etc. Would * after stone match all the given version of stone?

You should add the Zero or More indicator before and after.  Try .*stone.* to look for any instances of the word stone.
Matt,
Thanks for your help. It worked.

Hey @_arun_gurubaramurugeshan

 

Are you OK to mark @MattH 's solution as 'Solved"?   That way, this can contribute to the body of knowledge that folks can search for worked solutions.

 

Community Admins - if @_arun_gurubaramurugeshan is not able to get to this in a week or two - would you mind marking this as solved?

 

Thank you

Sean
