    Hi All,

    I am not very technical when it comes to syntax and the language used in Lavastorm and need some help replicating the length function in once of my graphs.

    I have created a filter node with two outputs and i need one of the outputs to include all information where the account number is <=6 characters long?

    Any help please?

    Thanks in advance

    Caz

    Hi,

    Assuming that your account number is in a field called "Account", and it is a string field, the simplest way to do this is using a Split node, and just entering the following in the "PredicateExpr" field:
    'Account'.strlen() <= 6
    If this is an integer field, you'll need to convert it to a string first using
     str('Account')
    If you need to more than just split the data and want to use a filter node, then you should have something like:

    smallLength = 'Account'.strlen() <= 6

output 1 {
 emit <things to emit>
 where smallLength
}

output 2 {
  emit <things to emit>
  where not smallLength
}
