Hello,
I have two features: Feature_PT (point) and Feature_LN (line). They have the same attributes but I have added PT_ to the front of the Feature_PT attributes and LN_ to the front of the Feature_LN attributes so that they are distinguishable after I use the PointOnLineOverlayer (POLO).
Within the POLO parameters I have enabled the lists with the following attributes:
Point List Name: _pt_overlay_list
- Attributes: PT_NAME
Line List Name: _ln_overlay_list.
- Attributes: LN_NAME
For the majority of my data there is a 1-to-1 match between Feature_PT and Feature_LN. My question is regarding the output points from the POLO that overlapped more than one line. I would like to compare each PT_NAME within the POLO - POINT OUTPUT to it's associated _pt_overlay_list{}.LN_NAME to see if PT_NAME matches any of the LN_NAME within the list. I only care about the first match. So, if there is a match, I would like the attributes of that matching Feature_LN to be the attributes that carry forward.
I have attached an image that might help explain what I am looking for. The image is of the hypothetical output attribute table from the POLO - Point Output.
Thank you so much FME Community.
