Regex MySQL find words separated by punctuation - regex

Question

Take an input like "This is, in text, an example! Cool stuff"
I have some C# code that takes it, removes the punctuation, splits on the spaces, and returns the first 6 elements:
var title = new string(input.Where(c => !char.IsPunctuation(c)).ToArray()).Split(' ').Take(6);
so I get an array of:
["This", "is", "in", "text", "an", "example"]
From that array, how can I work backwards to match it to the original input? I've tried doing:
'This|is|in|text|an|example' but it's not precise enough, as I think it's going or's instead of and's.
I'm going to use the regex expression in an SQL query, something like:
SELECT t.*, Max(e.Timestamp) As EventUpdated, Min(e.Timestamp) as Timestamp
From test t
Left Join edithistory e on t.IdTimelineinfo = e.IdTimelineinfo
where t.date = "2020-12-06" and t.Title REGEXP 'Testing|two|events|on|the';
I'm really new to regex and would appreciate any help.

Answer 1

I ended up using REGEX like the following:
DbTitle = string.Join("[^a-zA-Z]*", ArraryOfWords);
var title = $"[^a-zA-Z]*{DbTitle}";
SELECT t.*, Max(e.Timestamp) As EventUpdated, Min(e.Timestamp) as Timestamp
From test t
Left Join edithistory e on t.IdTimelineinfo = e.IdTimelineinfo
where t.date = #date and t.Title Regexp #title and Confirmed = 1;
