Tersus: Find Elements

Find ElementsDate: Jul 10, 2017 Find Elements - Traverse a hierarchy of objects to find elements that match given criteria This action searches the components of an object for all components that match specific criteria.The action can be used to find all (or specific) Tree Items in a Tree, all (or specific) Rows in a Table, or just components with specific type and/or content in any composite data structure.The search criteria are defined in an identical fashion to that of Find, based on the trigger names (for content) and the exit data type (for type). Triggers The action's template has three triggers (<Scope>, Filer 1, and Filter 2), but apart from <Scope>, which is always required, the action can be used with any number of additional triggers (including none). <Scope> (non-repetitive trigger [required]): A data structure which contains the components to be retrieved (any depth of hierarchy is allowed). Additional triggers (non-repetitive [not-required]) are used to specify content criteria. Each trigger's name is matched against the name of data elements of the components of <Scope>. Only components for which the values of the elements match these of the corresponding triggers are returned (if a component does not contain a specific data element, then the corresponding trigger is ignored for this component).<Options> (repetitive trigger [not-required]): Search control options when comparing text elements:

"Ignore Case" - Ignore letter case.

"Regular Expressions" - Use the specified value as a regular expression pattern (compare with Match).

"Allow Partial Match" or "Allow Partial" - No need for exact match. It is enough that the element in the checked component includes the specified value.

Options are case insensitive, and can be supplied separately or concatenated into a single string.

Exit <Elements> (repetitive exit [required]): The retrieved objects (the content of each of them matches the values specified by the triggers defining the content criteria). The data type of the exit defines the type criterion of the search - only objects that match this type are returned. Usage Example 1 href="http://www.tersus.com/#Id=3912 Usage Example 2 See Also:
