Output Filter Configuration
Data
Definition: This is the data string to be used when comparing symbol data for output
filtering and ordering. This data string may also contain wildcard and
placeholder characters to facilitate matching. Remember that in order to
filter or order symbol data, it must meet all the requirements of the
selected filter index.
Examples:
• Filter data = "123*". This will match data strings of "123", "123456", and
"123ABC", but not "12".
• Filter data = "123*AB?C". This will be interpreted as "123*".
• Filter data = "123?". This will match "1234" and "123A", but not "123",
"12345", or "1234C".
• Filter data = "123?A". This will match "1234A" and "123BA", but not
"123", "1234C", or "1234ABCD".
• Filter data = "123?A?". This will match "1234AB" and "123BAT", but not
"1234A" or "123BATS".
• Filter data = "12??*". This will match "1234", "123456", and "123ABC",
but not "12" or "123".
• Filter data = "123?A*". This will match "1234A", "123BA", and
"123BATS", but not "1234" or "1234C".
