Re: How to use a value selected in a list ?

Value will be a List of strings. Char must be used if variable is numeric.

If only one item is to be selected selected, this should work:

dt << Select Where(contains(char(variable)==value[1] ));

The below works also if several items are selected:

dt << Select Where(contains(value, char(variable) ));
