 have 20 files to input in my Alteryx. Their file names follow a pattern 

FileNames

A2A_S10_050

A2A_S43_070

A2A_S70 010

A2A_S20 03

etc

 

When the workflow is run, i need to add 2 fields Field A and Field B based on these names such s 

    File Names                             Field A   Field B

A2A_S10_050                               10           50 

A2A_S43_070                               43           70

A2A_S70 010                                70           10

 

A2A_S20 030                                20           30

A2A_S55                                       55           10 (If only first number is present then Field B is defaulted to 10)

A2A_S40-010                                40           10

A2A_PART1_S40-010                   40           10
