Metadata Expressions |
: If selected, uses metadata expressions to select objects. Metadata values are matched by their numeric value using expressions specified in the text box. The following operators are available: +, -, *, /, >, <, <=, >=, ==, !=, (, ), &&, ||. For example, a>5 selects all metadata fields where the numeric value is less than five, and b>=0.09 selects all metadata fields where the numeric value is greater or equal than 0.09. You can group multiple expressions by enclosing simple expressions into brackets. For example, (a<5)&&(b>=0.09) selects all metadata fields where the numeric value is greater or equal than 0.09, and less than five. No string matching for values is performed if metadata expressions are used. Variable names do not compare with actual key/name values. |
|
Regular Expression |
If selected, uses regular expressions to select objects. Values are matched by their numeric value using expressions specified in the text box. The following operators are available: +, -, *, /, >, <, <=, >=, ==, !=, (, ), &&, ||. No string matching for values is performed if regular expressions are used. Variable names do not compare with actual key or name values. |
