arc:match

Version 24.2.9039

arc:match

The arc:match keyword is similar to the arc:equals keyword. However, it permits complex matching rules.

Parameters

  • pattern: The pattern to match.
  • type: The type of matches to find. The default value is exact, which requires an exact match of the value. In this case arc:match is identical to arc:equals. Other supported types are regex for regular expression matching, and glob, which supports a simple expression model similar to the one used in file-name patterns, for example, *.txt.
    • The .NET edition of the application uses the .NET Framework version of regular expression matching.
    • The Cross-Platform edition uses Java regular expression constructs.
  • value: The value to match.

Control Attributes

None

Example

Check for floating point numbers using a regex pattern. If the pattern is matched, the item is pushed out.

<arc:match pattern="[-+]?[0-9]*.?[0-9]*" type="regex" value="-3.14">
  <arc:push/>
</arc:match>
