Hi,

sometimes reading the operator descriptions can be really enlightening 

It says:
Note that for nominal values the question mark must be escaped ("\?") because, as noted above, a regular expression is expected in this case.

Hello again,

sorry, I have no clue what you are trying to do. What do you mean with "write in XML code"?? Where are you entering this? Some operator parameter? Which operator (still "Filter Examples"?) with which settings and which intention? I guess you want to filter these examples from your data where specific attributes are missing? Maybe you post the XML code of your process to help us in providing some support.

Hi,

I guess you want to filter these examples from your data where specific attributes are missing?

ja exactly, I want to do It.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> <process version="5.1.006">   <context>     <input/>     <output/>     <macros/>   </context>   <operator activated="true" class="process" compatibility="5.1.006" expanded="true" name="Process">     <process expanded="true" height="161" width="413">       <operator activated="true" class="retrieve" compatibility="5.1.006" expanded="true" height="60" name="Retrieve" width="90" x="163" y="59">         <parameter key="repository_entry" value="//MyRepository/Project KC/VGA 01.07.2011/VGA Data Set"/>       </operator>       <operator activated="true" class="filter_examples" compatibility="5.1.006" expanded="true" height="76" name="Filter Examples" width="90" x="313" y="75">         <parameter key="condition_class" value="attribute_value_filter"/>         <parameter key="parameter_string" value="Name=\? OR value="Vorname=\? "/>       </operator>       <connect from_op="Retrieve" from_port="output" to_op="Filter Examples" to_port="example set input"/>       <connect from_op="Filter Examples" from_port="example set output" to_port="result 1"/>       <portSpacing port="source_input 1" spacing="0"/>       <portSpacing port="sink_result 1" spacing="0"/>       <portSpacing port="sink_result 2" spacing="0"/>     </process>   </operator> </process>

Thank you for your help,
Best Regards

Hi,

did you enter the parameter value in the process view or did you enter it into the XML code manually?? Because there is one quote too much, making the code invalid. Define filter conditions by entering them into the parameter field. Again reading the operator description will be helpful:
Please note your can define a logical OR of several conditions with || and a logical AND of two conditions with two ampersand (condition1 && condition2) - or simply by applying several ExampleFilter operators in a row.

So the correct parmeter value is

Name=\? || Vorname=\?
