I want filter out data from my data set array on basis of any like condition ? (reject function)

I want filter out data from my data set array on basis of any like condition ?

 

Can i use reject function for that ? but how i will do this as its accepting first parameter as function.

reject(fn!isnull, {1, null, 3})

reject("*test*",local!dataset.fieldName) - Syntext might be incorrect but i want something like this

  • Hi sauravk (or any other person having a similar problem),

    I was looking for a solution to this problem and found the following solution:

    with(
    local!entries: {"gerd", "german", "manfred", "freddy"},
    local!searchTerm: "man",
    filter(
    like(_, "*" & local!searchTerm & "*"),
    local!entries
    )
    )

    For what it's worth, filter() can now basically be completely replaced with a!forEach() (just like apply() and most other looping functions other than reduce()).  I recommend this approach in general because the coding of a!forEach() is a lot easier to understand both while initially creating logic, as well as for those who need to come around later and figure out what the original developer did.

    a!localVariables(
      local!entries: {"gerd", "german", "manfred", "freddy"},
      local!searchTerm: "man",
      
      a!forEach(
        local!entries,
        if(
          like(fv!item, "*" & local!searchTerm & "*"),
          fv!item,
          {}
        )
      )
    )
