Find String Exact List help

Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

  • Can somebody please explain to me what I'm doing wrong? I thought that the "Find String Exact" expression from the List Object allowed for a certain string to be searched throughout the list object, even if the string is not starting from the beginning of a line. I'm trying to search for a string that's located in the middle of a line. If it doesn't match anything it should return -1 for the line index, however I made an example test file and it doesn't seem to be working correctly. Maybe I don't understand this correctly, can somebody take a look at it?

    I'll briefly explain the example file. I have a list object. I wrote one line in it: 10,1,4(1,3)5,10

    I try to search for the string "1,4(" using the find string exact expression. Shouldn't it return with a line index that's not -1 since it's a part of the string above? However this isn't the case when I test it.

    Here's the example file, it's pretty straightforward:

  • I now realize that I've been misunderstanding how this expression works correctly. Instead I'll just have to loop through each line of the list and test with the string parser. Oh well.
