How to use an attribute in the Regular Expression field of StringSearcher?


toedeledokie

Hi there!

The attribute is composed of concatenated values.

When I test if the concatenated values work as a regex, it succeeds:

02But when I try and use the created attribute, it doesn't match.

01I would love your input, please.

Hi @toedeledokie​ 

 

You need to use the transformer to merger your informations, like the transformer FeatureMerger ou FeatureJoiner before the StringSearcher.

Sorry @danilo_fme​ ,

I've had no success with FeatureMerger. Both columns have to have the same values, no? Name in file_a and Name in file_b differ but have substrings in common.

I pored over the FeatureMerger documentation as best I could.

File_a:

file_a_nameFile_b:

file_b_name Workspace:

workspaceHere's my workspace attached, with some of the files. There are more files I need to do this kind of merger with but it's gotta succeed first with file_a and file_b.

Amazing, thank you! I could not, for the life of me, figure out how to pass along the regex and you whipped this up making it look so easy.

A million thanks for the lesson 🙏
