I'm having difficulty getting "Evaluate Condition" to behave as in the documentation . My aim is to assess whether one word or a list of words are present in a long text. Doing some tests, these are the results: - "plane" does not contain "plane". The answer is no. That's correct - "plane is flying" does not contain "plane". The answer is yes. That's incorrect - "plane plane plane plane" does not contain "plane". The answer is yes. That's incorrect - "car, plane, train" does not contain "plane". The answer is yes. That's incorrect. In scenario 2 to 4, the answer should have been no. What am I missing here? @DylanPammett

Hi David, It seems the condition is not behaving as intended in scenarios above due to the use of quotes in your conditions. Based in the configurations above the search term is "plane" (including the quotes) which is why you are getting incorrect results. I retested the condtions as follows: plane does not contain plane . The answer is no. That's correct plane is flying does not contain plane . The answer is no. That's correct plane plane plane plane does not contain plane . The answer is no. That's correct car, plane, train does not contain plane . The answer is no. That's correct Also we have update the docuementation to remove the backticks from the examples to ensure it matches the correct functionality

Hi David,

I retested the condtions as follows:

plane does not contain plane. The answer is no. That's correct
plane is flying does not contain plane. The answer is no. That's correct
plane plane plane plane does not contain plane. The answer is no. That's correct
car, plane, train does not contain plane. The answer is no. That's correct

Also we have update the docuementation to remove the backticks from the examples to ensure it matches the correct functionality

Hey Dylan, thanks for that, it does behave properly now. And thanks for updating the doc.

I'm wondering however - if there are no quotes, then the text content to evaluate cannot contain key words like "contains". right?

DylanPammett

Hi David, yes and no. If you manually write out the values you may experience issues but if you store the values you are evaluating in data library items it should work.

For example

Manually writing The can contains coffee contains coffee in evaluate condition you receive a No which is incorrect but if you use data library items like so {{val 1}} contains coffee where val 1 = The can contains coffee you receive a Yes
