How to match a string against one or more values in an array?

[dlprentice]

Lets say I have a string like this:

BLMBORNX-R1LULU-N887518E002 (or even a partial string like BLMBORNX-R1LULU-)

I want to match this up with values in an array. However in the array there could be more than one match (which is ok)

Lets say the closest match is this:

  {

    "City": "HONOLULU",

    "State": "HI",

    "Network ID": "blmbornx-r1lulu-bdosoooo22"

  },

  {

    "City": "HONOLULU",

    "State": "HI",

    "Network ID": "blmbornx-r1lulu-Ndo9f-3iu0920jf"

  },

My desired output would be:

Most likely locations based on BLMBORNX-R1LULU-N887518E002:

City	State	Network ID
HONOLULU	HI	blmbornx-r1lulu-bdosoooo22
HONOLULU	HI	blmbornx-r1lulu-Ndo9f-3iu0920jf

This is what I got so far:

JSON Format of array:

{

    "type": "array",

    "items": {

        "type": "object",

        "properties": {

            "City": {

                "type": "string"

            },

            "State": {

                "type": "string"

            },

            "Network ID": {

                "type": "string"

            }

        },

        "required": [

            "City",

            "State",

            "Network ID"

        ]

    }

}

Hi @dlprentice ,

You can use Filter array action to filter out the array with your filter you want. eg. for your case the input will be the array you are looking to filter and in the filter condition 

item()?['network id'] is equal to 'string comparison'

this will give you array as an output if matched else empty array which you can use further to create CSV table or HTML table.

Thanks
