I have a dataframe where I am trying to match the columns string values of two columns to create a new column that returns true if the two column values match or false if they don't.
Want to use match and regex, remove all non-alphanumeric characters and use lowercase to match the names

pattern = re.compile('[^a-zA-Z]')

```
    Name A         Name B
0   yGZ,)          ygz.
1   (CGI)          C.G.I
2   Exto           exto.
3   Golden         UTF

```

I was thinking of trying something like this:

```
dataframe['Name A', 'Name B'].str.match(pattern, flags= re.IGNORECASE)

    Name A         Name B    Result
0   yGZ,)          ygz.       True
1   (CGI)          C.G.I      True
2   Exto           exto.      True
3   Golden         UTF        False

```
