Pipeline workaround - 'is contained within'

Question

How can I accomplish this in a Pipeline?A- Search a table. Include a text field  that is a list of items (semicolon deliminator). This search yields a handful of results.
For each A:B. Search a different table with this condition:&nbsp;  is contained within .Obviously that isn't a filter that exists. What ways can this concept be accomplished?------------------------------Mike Tamoush------------------------------

There is a Contains filter available in a Search. Can you explain why it can't be used?------------------------------Mark Shnier (YQC)mark.shnier@gmail.com------------------------------

You can do: Contains

, but the reverse is not available.

is contained within the

.

I think my solution may be to reverse the order of my 2 searches. At least that's all I can come up with.

This essentially is regarding my other post. I had one i idea where I searched my subcontractors, all which have a field called 'missing dates'. So it might be like "1-1-2021; 3-1-2021'

Then I search a dates table which just has dates listed. I want to say, search the date table for where the single date is contained within the missing dates field.

I don't think that's possible, but I think i can search the date table FIRST. Somehow limit the dates to a manageable amount, then for each date find a subcontractor where missing dates contains that single date. Then finish my pipeline.

That's my only idea so far

Hi Mike,If it is a semicolon delimiter you could try using regex, that is what I do for multi-select fields:Find All Matches to Regex:Text: {{yourfield}}Regular Expression:([A-Za-z0-9\s]+);​For each match, search for {{x.group_1}}------------------------------Sean Connaughton------------------------------

Thanks Sean.&nbsp; Do you know if there are any good help documents on Regex? Ive never used it, and what you wrote looks a little like a foreign language to me :)I mean, I could just copy and paste what you have, but just trying to teach myself what it means.------------------------------Mike Tamoush------------------------------

Hi Mike,This is what I used to get started, it is a really useful skill to have!Youtube Tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sa-TUpSx1JACheat Sheet: https://cheatography.com/davechild/cheat-sheets/regular-expressions/Mozilla Documentation: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Regular_Expressions/CheatsheetFYI, I think the last object in the text will not be found unless there is a semicolon after it. You could probably work it out with a "?" but I usually take the easy way out and just do the following in my text field.Example:Text: {{a.project_phases}};Regex: ([A-Za-z0-9\s]+);Notice the semicolon at the end of the Text will let the regex capture all objects.------------------------------Sean Connaughton------------------------------
