Regex a sentence containing a specific word

DKMI

Hi!

 

I am looking to pull out whole sentences from free text containing a word/collection of words

 

Ie:

 

Example string "My name is derek and I am 42. I like to alteryx designer as it is cool. I have ginger hair."

 

I want to pull out sentences containing 'Alteryx designer', so the result would look like:

 

'I like to alteryx designer as it is cool'

 

Any thoughts?

Here is a way of doing it without Regex:

Use the Text to Columns tool to split by . into rows, then filter out that field where the text contains Alteryx Designer
