Re. Wildcard in filter

dshay248

Hi all,

 

I need to filter with a wildcard in this string  'order-lines.0.id'  where the wildcard is the place of the 0, but can contain up to three characters.  So 'order-lines.***.id'

 

Any ideas on how to achieve this?

 

Thanks,

Hi @dshay248 ,

 

You can make use of a filter tool with a RegEx match expression in it

The dot stands for "everything" and you want 1-3 everything between "order-lines." and ".id". If that everything is always a number, you can replace the .{1,3} with \d{1.3}

 

 

Hope that helps,

Nice one.

And I think we may need an escape for the second period.

Yes we do need that escape, thanks @Qiu!   I thought I've put it there but apparently I didn't 😁
