I have attached a text input with my workflow. Can some one guide me on  how to filter rows having  only apple/apples from the column with RegEx tool

@whiran — Try this solution:

 

REGEX_CountMatches([Fruit], "Apple", 1)

 And, using RegEx:

Refer to attached the solution for more understanding:

if you want case sensitive match, try below.Capture114.PNG

@Qiu Yes.

@whiran — And use the expression below in a RegEx tool if you just want to keep the rows which have only apple/apples/Apple/Apples:

 

 

^([Aa]pple|[Aa]pples)$

 

or

 

^(apple|apples|Apple|Apples)$

 

 

And, make sure "Case Insensitive" option is unchecked.

 

Refer to updated the attached workflow:

By default, it will do case-insensitive match, unless you trun on the -i switch.

Thanks for the mark.
