Hello,

I have a table of terms [aaa, bbb, ccc]  
And a table with text [dddaaa, eeeccc, fffbbb, gggyyy]

I want a table with the text and the matching term - if any  
dddaaa - aaa  
eeeccc - ccc  
fffbbb - bbb  
gggyyy -

I did manage to test the occurrence of the term using the rule-based nodes, but I can´t tell which term was used for each row.

Thanks in advance!

Oi/Hi @sfafilho

One question – can one of your records be something like aaabbbccc?
