Hi, I'm trying to retrieve DOM instances that contain a string field matching a certain regex. So far, this is what I got:

  • DomInstanceExposers.FieldValues.StringField(FieldDescriptorID.Id.ToString()).Matches(".*");

But this doesn't seem to return anything even though all instances on my agent have that string field defined and contain a value. Any idea how I can achieve this?

Hi Thomas,

Using regex filters on DOM field values is unfortunately currently not supported. There is a docs page that notes all officially supported filter operators: https://docs.dataminer.services/dataminer/Functions/DOM/DomHelper_class.html#filtering

Feel free to share any use-case where this would be used and create a feature request. Our team can then investigate whether it will technically be possible to add this functionality.

Hi Thomas, thanks for the answer. I was able to work around it by using the .Contains() instead.
