    Dear all,

    I'm having a lookup node that I want to lookup dedicated serial-numbers within a text-field of another table.
    Problem is, that the lookup only matches, when the text-field contains only the serial-number itself.
    Example:

    SN: 12345
    Text-Field: "12345"
    Match: ok

    What doesnt work is:
    SN: 12345
    Text_Field: "some text and then 12345"
    Match: nok

    How can I achive that the serial number is also being found in the last example ?

    Thanks in advance,

    This can be handled using the Substring Lookup node, which has been released in our prototype library, in the Lavastorm Labs forum. If you need to request access to that forum (if the previous links don't work), you should follow the directions in first paragraph of this post to request access.
