Pattern matching in LF Connector in order to generate LF Search tokens from entry name

Connector

asked on December 16, 2015 • Show version history

I'd like to use LF Connector to search the LF Repository based on two field values.  These two field values would be found on the end of a entry name that is currently selected in the repository.  The name will be variable in length, but will be in a standard format like the following:

Initial Documents 12/15/15 LU: Lname, Fname - SSN

IMA Form 12/16/15 LU: Lname, Fname - SSN

 I'd like to be able to parse the "Lname, Fname" as one token variable, and the "SSN" as the other token variable. Note: The values for "Lname, Fname" or "SSN" are not static, but would be different for a selected entry used as the search token source.

These two tokens would then be placed in the Advanced Search syntax of the profile's XML, in order to search for all documents that had those two field values applied.

 

Is this possible? Any ideas would be most helpful.

 

Or, alternatively, is it possible for LF Connector to pull metadata from a selected document that is not opened in the document viewer (and does not have the metadata fields targeted)?

Hi Kyle,

So long as you set up Connector to obtain the values, you can do whatever token parsing you want. https://www.laserfiche.com/support/webhelp/laserficheconnector/9.1/en-us/userguide/#Tokens.htm has more information on this. Connector has to be able to obtain the values though, so it'd need to be something that the user could see.
