regexp: match | no match separation (SOLVED)
I get strings like this:
<1>
<12>
<2513>
they match my criterion.
Anything else than <number> does not match.
I need a clear distinction between ‘match’ and ‘no match’.
I tried [regexp ^\\<\\d+\\>$], but unfortunately unmatched strings produce something at both outputs 3 & 4. This is impractical, I only want something at one output at a time. I have therefore added separation via a gate, which looks pretty dodgy and I don't want to keep it like this:
I don't really care what comes out, it can also be converted or 0/1, I just want to recognise for sure whether it is a match or not.
How can I do this with a better method?
Problem is solved in a different way (no regexp).
Using the simpler regexp \\<\\d+\\> it seems to work as intended:
Yes and it seems to work with the ^…$ version also.
The real problem was somewhere else: regexp was receiving several messages in a row, which just happened to be in a certain order. This was not allowed anyway and I now separate the messages in an earlier stage of the process.
