What is the best way to filter based on a specific segment?

[dombarone]

Good afternoon,

I am looking to filter messages to different destination files if the msg['PID']['PID.3']['PID.3.1'].toString() contains only numeric values, and send all others that contain alphanumeric values to a separate destination file. My first thought was to use a filter in the destination tab of my channel but in the rule builder it doesn't look like I can use Regex.

What is the best way to accomplish this task? I'm sure I am missing something very simple, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Dom

For the most part, the best way to filter is to use destinationSet.* filtering whereby you choose the destination on the source side.

If you go over to the mirth forums there are many examples of regex use.

And if you care to read the manual on destination set filtering:

And an example, but I don't use the UI tools, would just do a JavsScript step that does the same thing.

Thank you so much, I didn't realize that was an option on the source transformer, I agree with you, it is much easier to do this in JavaScript. This did the trick!
