I have a template which uses the same multivalued attribute in various places. I often find myself in a situation where I would like to filter the attribute before a template is applied to the individual values.
I can do this:
<#col:{c|<if(cond)><# c.Attribute2 #><endif>};separator=\",\"#>
but that is not what I want, because then there are separators in the output separating "skipped" entries, like:
2,4,,,6,,4,5,,
I can modify it to
<#col:{c|<if(c.Attribute1)><# c.Attribute2 #>,<endif>};separator=\"\"#>
Which is almost OK, but I get an additional separator after the last number, which sometimes does not matter (usually when the separator is whitespace), but sometimes does:
2,4,6,4,5,
I sometimes end up doing:
<#first(col):{c|<if(cond)><# c.Attribute2 #><endif>};separator=\"\"#>
<#rest(col):{c|<if(cond)>,<# c.Attribute2 #><endif>};separator=\"\"#>
But this approach fails if the first member does not satisfy the condition, then there is an extra separator in the beginning:
,2,4,6,4,5
Can someone give me a better solution?
First, let me point out that I think you are trying to do logic inside your template. Any time you hear things like "filter my list according to some condition based upon the data" it might be time to compute that filtered list in the model and then push it in. That said something like this might work where we filter the list first:
<col:{c | <if(c.cond)>c<endif>}:{c2 | <c2.c.attribute>}>
c2.c accesses the c parameter from the first application
The answer by "The ANTLR Guy" didn't help in my case and I found another workaround. See at Filter out empty strings in ST4

I have about 3 collections and i want to write into an excel and send them in mail separately, I tried to use multi choice to finalize one after the other but it doesn't work
any other idea how to do this?
I will put screen shots below for more illustration
It's likely not functioning the way you intended because each of the three Data Items you're attempting to compare to a blank string ("") aren't Text-typed - rather, they're Collections. Collections themselves can't be compared to strings (see: apples and oranges), but the data contained within them can.
What you're likely attempting to do is to compare the value within the current row of each of those collections - it's not clear what the field name is from your screenshot (the field name itself is cut off on the right edge) but your comparisons should look something like the following:
[No Amount.Politic]<>""
[Pending difference.Field]<>""
[Ready to print.Field]<>""
I would like to have one field appear conditionally based on the value of another. How should I go about achieving this in dexterity?
E.g. One field is a boolean: Is the resource for sale?
If this is set as "yes" I'd like the next field to show up, being an integer- the price of the resource.
If I had to guess, I'd start hacking a javascript solution but I'm assuming there is a technique for doing it in an organised manner, but I can't find anything.
I should also mention that I am doing this to simplify the process of searching through this content later (using eea.facetednav) in which I don't know how to have a boolean search interface return results based on if the integer is > 0.
I have a question in UFT 12.
My scenario is:
1. Type text in a WebEdit. Say "GOOG"
2. When I type "GOOG" slowly, it lists out the symbols that start with "G". From this list out, I want to select the first element.
3. Once I click on the first element, the Google quotes are displayed.
My Issue:
UFT just types GOOG and doesn't show me the list that lays out for me to select the first element that starts with "G".
From the Object spy, I managed to find the first element as a web element.
I tried many different ways like childitem etc. Nothing seems to work. Please help me out.
I am not able to attach my screen shot here. This is something similar to Google suggest where you type and it suggests you so many options and go with the first option.
It seems like you're trying to automate auto-complete textbox. So you should not directly paste the string value in the textbox as we used to do for normal edit controls, instead you should split the string into separate characters and type one by one.
If if you do in such a way, then the AUT will list the matching options to pick. From there you can select the required option. Then you may use SendKeys method (** something like Down Arrow + Enter) to pick the selection.
Just a have attempt in this way - good luck!
I'm trying to "Include Only" about 40 URLs for a specific profile view. I set up three Request URI filters that use "Include Only" and the following regex:
FIRST:
/(subdirectory1|subdirectory2|subdirectory3|subdirectory4)/
(That goes on and on for about 15 subdirectories)
SECOND:
/(subdirectory16|subdirectory17|subdirectory18|subdirectory19)/
(That goes on and on for another 15 subdirectories).
THIRD:
Same thing for whatever remains.
If I only have ONE "Include Only" Request URI filter set up this way, it works. As soon as I add a second filter, it stops tracking everything. Unfortunately, I can't fit all URLs in the one filter.
How can I accomplish this?
Thanks.
The first filter includes the subdirectories 1-15 (if numbered sequentially). Everything else is thrown away. The second filter works on what is left, so from the sequence subdirectory1 to subdirectory15 it only includes those that match the pattern subdirectory16-subdirectory25. Which is none of them.
Filters are applied in the order that they are defined and they are destructive, data that has been deleted in a previous filter is not evaluated in a subsequent filter, hence you see nothing.
An standard include filter does not accept regular expressions (whith the exception of the "|" character). However as far as I know (and according to the documentation) the advanced include filter does.
I'm not great with regular expression, but the following pattern should work or at least be good enough to get you going:
\/subdirectory([1-2][1-9]|[1-9])
The first bit is your directory name. The bit in parenthesis should match the numbers. Specifically:
[1-2][1-9]
should match numbers from 11 to 29 (these are character classes, regex treats numbers as characters not as numbers. So this bit looks for something that starts with 1 or two and is followed by one of the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9).
Then there is your "or"-sign and a second expression to match numbers that have only one digit.
Change the character classes according to your needs.
You'd have to go from predefined to advanced filter, set "include", use "RequestURI" as filter field and enter the expression. That should work (I admit I haven't tested it).
How to search every word separated by comma in textbox
Please refer above post
Its Working perfectly...But i have small issues.. when i enter in text box like c,c++,4-5 yrs it have to check in database like either c,c++ skills and 4-5 yrs experiecne and then the reult has to be shown... Burt as per ur query it just show results whether any one of keyword satisfy database ...I want to compare year also how? –
If you want that behavior, you have to program that behavior. One design is to have multiple input boxes: one where you check if any of the words exist, another where you check that all of the words exist. (Perhaps even another for an exact phrase match.) Another design possibility would be for you to develop a syntax to indicate optional and required words all within a single input box. The point is it is up to you.
After you've decided on a design, then you could write code that builds your query based on or matches on the optional words and and matches on the required. Something like this pseudocode
Select * From Table Where
(Field Like OptionalWord1 Or Field Like OptionalWord2 Or Field Like OptionalWord3)
And Field Like RequiredWord1
And Field Like RequiredWord2
(etc.)
