syntax- searching string for an action

[#1]

Hi everyone,

I would like to add an action, which helps to choose the searchwords i want. My problem is, if there are similar words, the action chooses all of them, but I want just one. for example:

there are:

abc

abcd

abcds

blabli

my expression for the searching string is:

= '("abc"|"blabli")'

this expression chooses all abc* strings, but i just want  abc only, can somebody help me please?

I don't get the result so.

Could you post your sample app that replicates the issue?

Hi,

I think you are trying the same expression in the Listbox -> Search..

("abc"|"blabli")

But, if you assign the expression in the Action Button, it will give your desired result, not  'abc*'..

Dear Sevdolicious,

Here it is,

='(' & Concat ({<YourFieldName = {"abc*"}>} Distinct YourFieldName, '|')')'

Kind regards,

Even in the listbox, using 'Normal Search' mode - 'exact match' should have worked. Unfortunately, that doesn't work anymore.

Yes, I tested it. It gives all the value.
But if we give (abc|blabli)  -> This give exact value

My searching string includes 2 words, therefore i had to use These " ".

Thank you all for your help
