    Table Array with Wildcard involving partial URL match

    My dataset features many variations of URLs such as:
    somewebsite.com/en-us/city/amelia-island
    somewebsite.com/en-us/city/anna-maria-island
    somewebsite.com/en-us/city/boca-grande

    and

    somewebsite.com/en-us/listing/lake-buena-vista
    somewebsite.com/en-us/listing/lake-placid
    somewebsite.com/en-us/listing/lakeland

    and
    somewebsite.com/golf/listing/fort-pierce
    somewebsite.com/golf/listing/fort-walton-beach
    somewebsite.com/golf/listing/miami



    I need to map to a field called SITE, for example:
    somewebsite.com/golf/listing/fort-pierce = GOLF CITY
    somewebsite.com/golf/listing/fort-walton-beach = GOLF CITY
    somewebsite.com/en-us/listing/lake-buena-vista = CITY LISTING
    somewebsite.com/en-us/listing/lake-placid = CITY LISTING
    somewebsite.com/en-us/city/anna-maria-island = CITY DETAIL
    somewebsite.com/en-us/city/boca-grande = CITY DETAIL

    So in the TABLE ARRAY, I put
    somewebsite.com/golf/listing/* = GOLF CITY
    somewebsite.com/en-us/listing/* = CITY LISTING
    somewebsite.com/en-us/city/* = CITY DETAIL

    Hoping that a LOOKUP would understand that it should return the SITE. But it doesn't work.

    I spent a couple of hours searching support sites like this one, but cannot find an example that is similar enough to be useful to me.

    I'm hoping some kind soul here will help.

    Thank you in advance!

    Thanks but this can't be right? I need a LOOKUP or INDEX/MATCH.

    Uploaded a spreadsheet with dataset and in-process mapping.

    On the MAPPING tab, I used red to highlight where I need wildcard matching.
