climber selection bar extension: initial selection with wildcards

[philipp_des]

Hi,

I need to filter the data by some pattern. E.g. path="Top>>Middle>>Sub" and I need all entries where the executionpath contains "Middle". Any ideas what the correct expression for this is?

The docu only mentions expression or list:
Initial selection - Any field/variable can be set for an initial selection using an expression or comma separated list.

Hi,

The best approach would be to create a separate field in the script for the path so you only have to select in one field rather than do a search across potentially large volumes of data. Then use that new field in the selection bar to make initial selections. You can of also hide the field if you do not want it to be visible in the selection bar.

(In the script you could for example use wildmatch() to get the strings you are looking for and create the new field.)
