Create a variable and use it to filter

Hello, I have the following output:

 

IDContent
1/etc/passwd
1root:!:0:0:Usuario De Sistema Operativo Super-User:/root:/usr/bin/ksh
2/etc/hosts.equiv
2el archivo no existe /etc/hosts.equiv
3/etc/hosts.allow
3el archivo no existe /etc/hosts.allow
4/etc/hosts.deny
4el archivo no existe /etc/hosts.deny
5

/etc/security/user

 

 

I am trying to do a search to find the "/etc/passwd" on Content column and then save the related ID into a variable, then use that variable into a filter tool and filter only the ID column with the variable.

The ID's are not always the same so harcoding the number into the filter does not work for the solution.

Hi @masiain 

 

I've attached a workflow that shows two methods to achieve the desired result: one using the Filter tool as requested, and another using a Join tool. Let me know if this works for you.
