Does Regular Expression Generator exist in Alteryx?

I am digging into regular expression recently. 

 

I think the way that Alteryx takes advantage of regular expression is that, first users observe the pattern of a text (unstructured), then users type in the regular expression for the string element they would like to find out. It is a one-way direction and not good learning curve for a business user.

 

Therefore, I am wondering is there any Macro in Alteryx Gallery or tools that allows us to creat a bi-directional regular expression generator. In other words, I give the text input, then Alteryx gives me the regualr expression.

For example,

 

Input:

123a

129b

090Z

 

Output:

\d+\w
