I have many attributes in a field that contain the string "Contour" as part of a longer string.  I want all the features with the string "contour" to be passed through the fitler.  However I cannot work out what wildcard identifier I need to use for it to recognise this....

Hi,

 

 

I think you can use the Tester rather than the AttributeFilter. Consider using "Like", "Matches Regex" or "Contains" operator. Maybe "Contains" is most intelligible.

 

Note: since those operators are case-sensitive, two Test Clauses may be necessary if there could be both "Contour" and "contour".
