Selection using Attributes¶
You can define a selection by matching attributes:
- Select a Feature Layer is the Layer View
- Open the Table View
- Select an Attribute from the list (or choose All)
- Type in the value you are searching for.
- Press Enter, the table and Map selection selection will be updated accordingly
Examples¶
| hello | will match any word containing the string hello |
| \Ahello | will match any word that starts with hello |
| \Ahello\Z | Exactly matches the word hello |
| \Ahello|\Aboo | will match strings that start with hello or boo |
| \Ahe.*o\Z | will match strings that start with he and ends with o |
| [ln] | will match any string that contains l or n |
| \A[ln] | will match many string that starts with l or n |
Note
The search is NOT case sensitive.
In most cases \A can be replaced with ^ (start of line) and \Z can be replaced with $ (end of line)
