So while I was training I was shown a page within the alteryx documentation that lists expressions or delimiters. What Im trying to find is a list of them and honestly Im not sure what they are called, I call them expressions things like \s \t. I know its in Alteryx somewhere I just cant find it now. Any direction would be helpful.
