Converting the following python regex functions into Regex_Match in Alteryx

[Siddhantt_1999]

• r"([^a-zA-Z0-9])(" + token + r")([^a-zA-Z0-9])"
• r"([^a-zA-Z0-9])(" + token + r")($)"
• r"(^)(" + token + r")([^a-zA-Z0-9])"
• r"(^)(" + token + r")($)"

I have the above 4 regex functions built in Python, I want to convert these into regex_match in Alteryx to search for the word from column 'Token" in a column called "Description" and return True if the word is found. Can someone please help convert these Regex functions into 4 separate regex_match functions in Alteryx? I tried doing it but the response was always coming as false for all 4 functions, not sure where I am going wrong.

Also, I made these 4 cases instead of directly using "Contains" as there are edge cases to handle which these functions do in python but now I need these in Alteryx without using the python tool.

Can you show an example of what you want mean in www.regex101.com then screenshot and put here. You'll get an answer really quick that way.

either share the link via save and share options which can be found in the top-left of the browser: https://regex101.com/r/ZHMcLZ/1 

or just send a picture of lines you want to match and lines you don't:

 

All the best,

Second what Ben @BS_THE_ANALYST says. Directly converting a REGEX pattern like that may not be the best way to tackle your problem. Maybe provide some sample data and then we can help convert it for you better.
