Hi there!
The attribute is composed of concatenated values.
When I test if the concatenated values work as a regex, it succeeds:
But when I try and use the created attribute, it doesn't match.
I 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.
Thanks in Advance,
Danilo

Appreciated. Will give it a go. Fought a bit with it all earlier today 🙂
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_b:
Workspace:
Here'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 🙏
