Dear GH community,
I am having trouble to match some multiple text fragments of a list, because I run into some problems that I can’t figure out.
In the first example having to match this 2 text fragments {18} and {19}, everything seems to be working fine, but if I enter for example in addition {00}, {01}, {02}, etc etc, as the first index, for no apparent reason, the cull pattern components deletes some unexpected items (in this case the items of the 01 September), but if I put the {00}, after the index {19} nothing happens.
I need to match a predefined multi-text fragments from a list, (in this case {xx}) even if they aren’t present, without fear of important values being deleted.
Any advice?
Match Text component has inputs as item, but you provide it trees and lists with multiple elements. What the component does in your case is : for each branch of the tree, it will try to match the first item of the branch to the first pattern (*{18} in your example), then the second element of the branch to the second pattern, and so on.
What I understand you’re in the need of is to keep an element of the tree as long as it matches at least one pattern ? In which case you need to graft your tree so each single element is tested for all patterns, then mass add the result (false => 0, true => 1, so if the sum is strictly higher than 0, it means at least a match was found) and trim tree before culling.
I also found out that you have no data matching {00}, but some lines do match {0}.
@magicteddy many thanks,
I didn’t grafted the Text Imput on the text match component because I didn’t think there was a need, as the list was already “grafted”.
It seems the solution to my problem, I will spend a few more hours on it to be sure. Thank you so much
