ive tried 1. where string value is empty

 

               2. value is "" (see attched screen shot)

 

 

but its not working . please avice
Hi,

 

 

I believe that the first method (leave "Right Value" blank) works well.

 

Check if the street name is really empty (see the value using the Logger).

 

Just be aware that a string consisting of whitespace(s) is not an empty string.

 

 

In addition, the "Attribute is Empty String" operator can also be used to test whether an attribute value is empty. "=" operator + blank right operand does not distinguish "empty", "null", and "missing". The "Attribute is Empty String" returns true only when the left operand is "empty".

Thanks Takashi

 

kept the right value blank and it worked !

 

 

simple things .....

 

 

thanks for your help

 

 
handy way is also to use  Â 
 LEFTVALUE:  = LREGEXP {.+} {@ATTRIBUTE}] RIGHTVALUE: 0
 

 

{.+} is a string with something i it

 

{.+} can also be used in stringsearcher &Co.
