Wildcards

Top  Previous  Next

Most of the text-based parameters support wildcards with multiple parts and operators. Parts can be separated with semicolon (";") or comma (",").

 

Supported operators are:

 

without operator

"Soft" include - include if either one of specified conditions is fulfilled

"-"

Exclude

"+"

"Hard" include - all specified conditions must be fulfilled (only makes sense for file parameters)

"|"

Except

 

Examples:

 

condition1

Session/hit qualifies if condition1 is true

 

-condition1

Qualifies only if condition1 is false

 

condition1, -condition2

Qualifies if condition1 is true and condition2 is false

 

condition1, condition2

Qualifies if either one of conditions is true

 

+condition1, +condition2

Qualifies if both of conditions are true

 

+condition1, condition2, condition3

Qualifies if condition1 is true and either one of remaining conditions is true

 

When there is only one condition without any operator, engine behaves same as if you put a "+" operator in front of it. For example, "soft" include of single condition means that it must be fulfilled. Similarly, "+condition1, +condition2, condition3" is same as "+condition1, +condition2, +condition3". In both examples conditions 1 and 2 must be true (because of "+" operator), but one of remaining ("soft") conditions must also be true, and there's only one.

 

condition1, -condition2

Qualifies if condition1 is true and condition2 is false

 

-condition1|condition2

Qualifies only if condition1 is false except when condition2 is true

 

condition1|condition2

Qualifies only if condition1 is true except if condition2 is true
