Hi,
Is it possible to do a query on e.g. e-mail addresses where there is an ‘m’ between the ‘@’ and the ‘.com’? I tried to use this as filter: [email~=‘*@m.com’] but Tamino doesn’t accept that (INOXIE8374: invalid match pattern).
Or do I need to use regular expressions? In that case: please give an example.
thanks,
Pieter.
Pieter,
I don’t think XQUERY can satisfy this completely. So, wouldn’t it be better to split the email details up as follows…
You can then do a filter of
[EMAILNAME ~= “m” and EMAILORG ~=“*.com”]
completely satisfying the request.
The @ can be inserted as neccessary by processing outside of XQUERY.
rpn,
Maybe I confused you a bit with this sample query. I understand that you can split up an e-mail address so you can search on the different parts.
My question is more like: can you do a pattern search on whatever node value you want without having to split these nodes up? Just like you can do a search in Windows on a file that fulfills this criterion:
x?l*.*
Meaning: all files which start with an ‘x’, then one character of choice, an ‘l’, zero or more characters, a ‘.’ and zero or more characters.
But, as you said XQuery probably can’t.
thanks anyway,
Pieter
