Hi all,
I’m currently trying to show a shape in a view based on a Geolocation Tag that can be found in a URL for an encoded output stream to a CDN, e.g.
http://p-ep5829348.i.akamaientrypoint.net/5829348/de/ (example URL)
for which /de/ should indicate that a shape should be shown.
At this point I’m not sure about how the value in Visio should look like. The following was the way I tried it:
<A>-A|Element:XXXXX/105|Parameter:4607,01ecd600*0?0?0|=[RegexMatch:\/de\/,[param:XXXXX/105,4607,01ecd600*0/0/0]]
but the shape was basically always hidden. Any idea about how the syntax might be wrong? This is the parameter like it is shown in Cube:
Hi Gregor,
The RegexMatch placeholder will only return the part that matches with the regex, in this case this will thus be “/de/” which is then no longer equal to the original URL.
For these instances, the Regex= system for show conditionals will work better because it will allow you to define a regex and if the input matches, it will show the shape.
E.G: “<A>-A|Element:XXXX/31|Parameter:2|Regex=\/de\/” will match if parameter 2 matches with the regex and otherwise it will be hidden
More information can be found in the “condition” section here: https://docs.dataminer.services/user-guide/Basic_Functionality/Visio/miscellaneous/Extended_conditional_shape_manipulation_actions.html#single-condition
Hi Klaas,
this indeed did the trick, thank you! I think what would have been helpful would be an (example) sytax for using RegEx as a Condition.
