Is it just me or the first character of 2nd row was also supposed to be "*"?

Phillip thanks for being the RegEx wizard as i see you leverage it to its full potential in whatever WC it may be applicable.  You're my inspiration to learn REGEX!  Thank you!

I have attached my example workflow though I think in real word examples, I would have each row treated equally instead of first row having first character obscured and next row it being plain text.

Fun challenge.

I used the RecordID and Multi-Row Formula Tools to create multiple levels of IDs after transforming the data firstly to unique words per row, and then each letter on its own row. I used the Mod() function to identify every 2nd letter to obfuscate and then concatenated the letters back together, before concatenating the sentences back together ensuring spaces are included.

I think there was a mistake in the output where in row 1 the space was counted and in row 2 and 3 the space was not counted. My solution counts all the spaces.
