String Parsing and matching

Hi All,

 

I have below dataset and also mentioned the expected output from the data set -

 

DataValueMatch/Mismatch
CATERPILLAR|ININMATCH
CATERPILLAR|INCATERPILLARMATCH
CATERPILLAR|INAMISMATCH
CATERPILLAR|INCATMISMATCH
BUBBLE GUM|BOXBUBBLEMISMATCH
BUBBLE GUM|BOXBOXMATCH
BUBBLE GUM|BOX|PINBUBBLE GUMMATCH
BUBBLE GUM|BOX|PINPINMATCH
BUBBLE GUM|BOX|PINBMISMATCH
BUBBLE GUM|BOX|PINPMISMATCH

 

The issue is there is no constant blocks (|) between the each word in each row. They could be multiple.

any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks in Advance,

Komal

You need to use the tokenize function of the regex tool. Expression is ([^|]+). Sample solution workflow is attached.
