Match function

Gilad Waldman

I have a variable that contains a list of items, separated with comma and I am trying to run on all values and if last latter equals the latter p - Store all of these values in a different custom field. 

was using "endsWith" function but didn't return anything, and was my latest try was the below:

<span>{{#Variablen.split(",")}} </span><span>{{#if(trim(.).matches(".*p$"))}} </span><span>{{trim(.)}}{{^last}}, {{/last}} </span><span>{{/}} </span><span>{{/}}<br><br>Any&nbsp;suggestions?</span>

Hi @Gilad Waldman 

The example you show splits the variable on commas, and then tries to perform a trim() on the implied / unnamed, list item {{.}} followed by the inline iteration match() function in order to filter the list.

Although some functions can use {{.}} during long-format iteration, most cannot, as you are observing.  And, the {{^last}}, {{/}} would apply to the entire iteration, not to just the conditional filtering...thus, potentially leaving a trailing comma-space at the end.

 

As an alternative, you can solve this scenario completely with inline iteration with a trim prior to the attempted match, with a small change to your regex.  Then, add an explicit join for the delimiter.

{{Variablen.split(",").trim.match("^(.*p)$").join(", ")}}

 

Kind regards,
