Find presence of a number combination in a string

[boopeshj]

Hey Expert

I would like to find if a string contains 09-12 or 09-Dec. Any suggestions. 

" abcdaaa abnakenfa 30-Jan. anfeoanfoaewnfoaioenaf "

Regards,

try like this 

=KeepChar('abcdaaa abnakenfa 30-Jan. anfeoanfoaewnfoaioenaf','0123456789-')&Left(SubField(' abcdaaa abnakenfa 30-Jan. anfeoanfoaewnfoaioenaf','-',2),3)

Thanks @avinashelite  but I would like to check if this kind of String exists. 

I was thinking more in lines of search if there is something like 99-abc , I believe we could achieve this by a regular expression. Any idea on that lines ?

We don't have regular expression kind in Qlik for string matching ......

Probably this article would be close enough
