There are two options for creating a Match Text node.#

    • regexp , equal
  • The second way is to select a Match Text node from the menu that opens from the top left.
    • Menu > Tool > Text > Match Text

Steps#

  • Create a Match Text node.
  • Connect the base text to the first port.
  • Connect the optional wildcard pattern for matching to the second port.
  • Connect the optional the RegExp pattern for matching to the third port.
  • Connect the boolean toggle for using case-sensitive matching to the fourth port.

After creating a node, to the first port, connect the base text. Connect the optional wildcard pattern for matching to the second port, and the optional RegExp pattern for matching to the third port. For using case-sensitive matching connect the boolean toggle to the fourth port. On the output port, we will get the resulting text fragment.
