Help with regex search / visual filter

Post by n00bs »

Hi! I'm still pretty new to XYplorer and I try to use it as much as I can! I'm currently trying to set up a searchable database, for arguments sake, let's say it's for dogs that are up for adoption.

I am stuck with the following regex problem: Let's assume that I made a new custom column (numbers) in which I enter each dog's weight. I now want to show a client only midsize dogs and want to filter those out that aren't in that weight range. How would I formulate the regex query so it only shows dogs that weigh between 30 kg and 60 kg?

Thank you in advance!

Afaik visual filters don't support regex for other columns than the name so it wouldn't work that way...

In theory the pattern would have looked like this: >ex1:^([3-5][0-9]|60)$ or in whatever extra column the data is...

>ex1: would then we the name of the column?

How you name the column isn't relevant, in the example it's the extra1 column = ex1 and the > isn't part of the name, it's to indicate that's a regex pattern
