Hmmm...
The %Matches% result = Ebay
The %Ebay% var value = Ebay
Doesnt work when "equal to" but does work when set to "contains"... ?
Also doesnt work when hardcoded "Ebay" is in the second operand (in the If).
Thoughts...
Do you have white space in one of those variables, such as "ebay{space}" or "{space}ebay"?
Hey Mike, no pal, triple checked everything.
Im wondering if im getting the match result with a space after.
As in result = Ebayspace
That's what I was asking. If so, Trim Text (white spaces from beginning and end) and try that.
I thought you meant my var rather than the output var.
Ive just trimmed the resulting match, beginning and end, no joy...
Are they both Text Variables? Or is 1 a List?
Set Ebay to %Ebay% is the first var.
The %matches% is produced from the Parse Text action.
No lists...
Output from the %Matches%
Yup, it's a List, so you need %Matches[0]%.
Wouldn't the following code yield the desired result with less effort?
IF Contains(ExtractedPDFText, $'''@ebay.''', True) THEN Display.ShowMessageDialog.ShowMessage Message: $'''The PDF contains an ebay email address!!!''' Icon: Display.Icon.None Buttons: Display.Buttons.OK DefaultButton: Display.DefaultButton.Button1 IsTopMost: False END
Dagnabit !!! Genuinely thought it would just pull the output rather than having to specify the index 🙄
Im still stumped why it matched contains but not equal to, as I didnt specify the index ? Could you explain why ?
So, as every result will be at 0 index therefore I just have to set print to %Matches[0]%, I can live with that.
Thanks 😀
