Matching Data

This is the data string to be used when comparing symbol data for output filtering and ordering. This data string may also contain wildcard and placeholder characters to facilitate matching. Remember that in order to filter or order symbol data, it must meet all the requirements of the selected filter index.

Examples:

  • Filter data = "123*". This will match data strings of "123", "123456", and "123ABC", but not "12".
  • Filter data = "123*AB?C". This will be interpreted as "123*".
  • Filter data = "123?". This will match "1234" and "123A", but not "123", "12345", or "1234C".
  • Filter data = "123?A". This will match "1234A" and "123BA", but not "123", "1234C", or "1234ABCD".
  • Filter data = "123?A?". This will match "1234AB" and "123BAT", but not "1234A" or "123BATS".
  • Filter data = "12??*". This will match "1234", "123456", and "123ABC", but not "12" or "123".
  • Filter data = "123?A*". This will match "1234A", "123BA", and "123BATS", but not "1234" or "1234C".
