Hello Alteryx Community,

I hope this message finds you well. I am relatively new to Alteryx and I'm eager to dive deeper into the world of regular expressions (regex) to enhance my data processing and transformation skills. Since this community is filled with experienced Alteryx users, I thought it would be a great idea to seek your guidance and recommendations for learning regex effectively.

I'm reaching out today to kindly request your assistance in finding valuable resources, tutorials, or tips that can help me become proficient in regex within the context of Alteryx.

Specifically, I'm interested in:

2. Online courses or tutorials that cover regex in Alteryx.
3. Recommended books, blogs, or websites that offer in-depth regex insights.
