Like ‘% <%=var%> %’

Hello,

I would like to filter a field after comparing it to a variable.

The variable value is only a part of the field value, that is why I would like to use the "LIKE % % function.

I tried to define % and % as wrapping characters for the variable

I also tried to write % and % manually in the component filter formula.

( FILTER TABLE.FIELD LIKE % <%=VAR%> %; )

None of these worked. Is there a solution for this?

Thank you very much for your help,

Best Regards

Robin

Has anyone any idea on how to solve this problem?

Hi Robin,

your formula is almost correct! Simply adjust your filter to the following:

FILTER TABLE.FIELD LIKE %<%=VAR%>%;

The error occurs because you inserted spaces between the variable and the wildcards. This causes you to search a substring with spaces.

I hope this solves your issue.

Best,

Justin
