Question

Dear TWiki-Comunity,

I face a tricky search which I try to solve the last few days. I want to search for formfields in topics, so that only the topics which includes a specific value in a formfield are shown. This value I want to set with a variable, so that I don`t have to change every search. The goal is to set this value in the url, but thats another problem a guess I can solve of my own. My try looks like this:

%CALC{"$SET(bla, 27)"}%
%SEARCH{".*name=.*KW.*value=.*$percntCALC{\"$dollarGET(bla)\"}$percnt .*;" scope="text" topic="JobStatFrom.*" [...]
I guess the problem is, that the variable-String is interpreted as an String, `cause it sorrounded by quotes.

Any help?

Answer

I think you have been too careful with trying to escape things. You want the %CALC{...}% to be evaluated first, so there's no need to escape the percent signs.

Let's try with the form in this topic - it has a single field named SupportStatus:

---

%CALC{"$SET(bla, Answered)"}%
%SEARCH{".*FIELD.name=.SupportStatus.*value=.%CALC{"$GET(bla)"}%" topic="%TOPIC%" scope="text" regex="on" nototal="on"}%

Searched: .*FIELD.name=.SupportStatus.*value=.Answered

Results from Support web retrieved at 11:24 (GMT)

---

Adapting the same thing to URL params is as easy, you can supply a default as well:

---

%SEARCH{".*name=.SupportStatus.*value=.%URLPARAM{"value" default="Asked"}%" topic="%TOPIC%" scope="text" regex="on" nototal="on"}%

Searched: .*name=.SupportStatus.*value=.Asked

---

Now http://www.twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Support/SearchForFormfieldsWithVar should return no result in the answer (as long as the status is AnsweredQuestions), but http://www.twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Support/SearchForFormfieldsWithVar?value=Answered should.

Hi Harald, thx for your help, it seems like ist is an format problem in the "format="-section. When I used this I get the right results:

%CALC{"$SET(bla, 28)"}%

%SEARCH{".*name=.*KW.*value=.%CALC{"$GET(bla)"}%" scope="text" topic="JobStatFrom.*" web="Sandbox" order="topic" type="regex" casesensitive="on" reverse="off" nonoise="on" nohaeder="off"}%

But if I add the header and format-information it kicks the CALC- and TABLE-macros I included in the header- and format-Part. I use the table to create a dynamic chart, so I need to give the table a name and I need to count the rows...

header="$percntTABLE{name=\"nvh1\"}$percnt
|  *Datum*  |  *Gesamt*  |  *Done*  |  *Kill*  |  *Die*  |  *Done %*  |  *Kill %*  |  *Die %*  |"
format="| $percntCALC{\"$dollarSET(count_nvh_table1, $dollarEVAL($dollarGET(count_nvh_table1)+1))\"}$percnt $formfield(JaHr).$formfield(MoNat).$formfield(TaG) | $formfiel[...]
