By default, searches match against whole words. To enable a search to match against individual characters, use the following variables.
Matches the contained expression on a per character basis.
Matches any single letter. See the examples below.
Example: %#\a\a123% matches GB123.
Matches any single digit (0-9).
Example: %#GB\d\d\d% matches GB123.
Example: When %#ab{\d\d\a}[+g]% is matched against ab11a22d33f, it returns ab11a22d33f. The [+g] indicates 'greedy matching'.
Example: When %#{\d\a\d}|{\d\d\d} \d\d\??% is matched against Phone: 020 8686 3313 ; Id: 0a0 86bc, it returns 020 8686 and 0a0 86bc. The ?? wildcards match any character.
Example: When %#{\d[3,] }[3]% is matched against Phone: 020 8686 3313 ; Id: 0a0 86bc, it returns 020 8686 3313.
Matches any single letter or digit.
Matches any single punctuation character.
Example: %#cn\p\d\d\d \a\d% matches cn:123 A3 and cn-123 A3.
Aborts all matching immediately for this expression.
Wildcard. Matches any single character. See Wildcards.
A space in the search text expression matches spaces between words or other elements.
Example: {contact list} matches contact list.
Example: %#ID \d\d\d% matches ID 123.
Character ranges
Matches any character between a and z.
Example: When %#[[0-9]][4][[def]]% is matched against order: 7638f, it returns 7638f.
Matches a or b or c.
Example: When %#[[0123456789]][4][[def]]% is matched against order: 7638f, it returns 7638f.
Example: %#[[0-9abcP-R]]% matches any single character that is either: a digit between 0 and 9; a or b or c; or any upper case letter between P and R.
Matches any character except a or b or c. Spaces are also excluded.
Example: When %#[0-9]][[^0-9]]% is matched against order: 0a 5u 12, it returns 0a 5u. The final element, 12, is excluded because the search text expression explicitly excludeds two consecutive digits.
You can search for specific text and, if found, assign that text to a custom variable. Any part of the matching text can be extracted and stored as a user-defined variable. You can then use the custom variable in smart tags and user notification messages.
Simple User-defined Variables
Use the following syntax to create custom variables.
Matches any search text enclosed by the %<MyVariable>% tags and saves it to a variable %MyVariable%.
<MyVariable> can be any text. Variable names are case-sensitive. Variables must be terminated. That is, they must have a closing %</..>% tag.
<search text> can be any word or phrase, and can include other variables.
Example: %<User_ID>% %#\a\a\a\a\a\d\d#% %</User_ID >% detects any aaaaann identifier such as rimsp02 and saves it to a custom variable named %User_ID%.
Example: Here, the %<User_ID>% variable is incorporated into a user notification message: Your email has been blocked. It includes a reference to User %User_ID%.
Multiple and Overlapping User-defined Variables
You can create multiple user-defined variables from a single match, and variables can be overlapping. For example:
When matched against Id = 1234, this search expression generates a single user-defined variable, %ID%. Its value is 1234.
When matched against Id = 1234, this search expression generates two user-defined variables:
%ALL% has a value of Id = 1234.
%ID% has a value of 1234.
When matched against Id = 1234, this search expression generates three user-defined variables:
%START% has a value of Id .
%ALL% has a value of Id = 1234.
%ID% has a value of 1234.
