PlanetPress Workflow will search the job file and retrieve the string found at the
referenced location before performing the comparison.
l
Operator: Select the desired operator. Note that neither the “Is found” nor the “Is not
found” operator can be used to test XML data.
l
Convert data to uppercase before comparison: This option is only displayed when
either “Is found” or “Is not found” is selected in the Operator box. Select to prompt
PlanetPress Workflow to convert the string to uppercase before performing the
comparison.
l
Numeric comparison: This option is not displayed when either “Is found” or “Is not found”
is selected in the Operator box. Select to convert the strings from the String and
Comparison string boxes to their corresponding numeric values before performing the
comparison. If you chose an operator that compares numeric values, you should select
this option.
l
On numeric error: This option is only available when the Numeric comparison option is
selected. Select the behavior you prefer when PlanetPress Workflow is unable to
successfully perform a numeric comparison. Select ”Return the error”, if you want the Text
condition to fail altogether. Select ”Return true”, if you want the condition to be considered
True. Select ”Return false”, if you want the condition to be considered False.
l
Location: You can only enter a location when either ”Is found” or ”Is not found” is selected
in the Operator box. If you select “at”, you also have to enter a specific line and column. If
you select “on line”, you have to enter a given line. If you select “in area”, you have to
enter a range of lines and columns. If you select “on the page”, the search area will cover
the whole data page (as defined below).
l
Compare to string: You cannot enter a comparison string when either “Is found” or “Is not
found” is selected in the Operator box. Enter the second string of the comparison in this
box. As with the String box, you can enter a static string, a variable or a data selection in
this box.
l
Page range: Select Any page if you do not want to specify a precise data page. Select
Pages to specify individual pages or page ranges. The page range setting is only
considered when either ”Is found” or ”Is not found” is selected in the Operator box.
l
Range: Entries must be separated by commas. Page ranges are entered using a starting
page and an ending page, separated by a dash. For pages 1, 3 and 5 to 7, you would
enter the following: 1,3,5-7.
l
Invert condition result: Select to toggle the result of the condition (true becomes false
and vice versa).
