Condition is always true after a compose

Posted on by Bowiefan

Hi,

I build a flow, but my condition is always true.

I tried to say "does not contain" → e, but it always comes back true.
What am I doing wrong, because in the composition there is an e or other characters?

Thanks for looking at a solution

Samenstellen = compose

Hey @Bowiefan

If I understand correctly Compose gives you "Samenstellen"

And you are addition a condition

"Samenstellen" does not contain "\"

The above will return true because the word Samenstellen does not contain \ character.

Hey,
The character \ is in the text but lower. 😉

Compose is in dutch Samenstellen.
So in the compose i have many text.
Also when I tried to say "does not contain" → e, it gaves always the result 'true'. 😞

Try using the another compose to confirm where in your outputs the character or string can be found.

After Samenstellen 3, add another compose with this expression:
indexOf(string(outputs(‘Samenstellen_3’)), ’/‘)

It will tell you the position of the first occurrence of the text you are looking for (such as ‘/‘). If the text isn’t found, it returns -1.

If you don’t trust the normal “does not contain”, you can put that indexOf expression in the condition and check that it is equivalent to -1.

Make sure the expression has the right parentheses:
indexOf(string(outputs(‘Samenstellen_3’)), ’/‘)

I edited my original response, while trying to format it on mobile I erased part of the expression.
