I want to urge the developers to write a documentation that tells us how to use the available functionality.
Specifically I am looking at the filtering functionality. Let me explain my use case:
I need to query CDF for a lot of time series. The unfiltered query returns a TimeSeriesList of 32k TS. I only need a subset of these, and want to perform the filtering on the CDF side. I want to fetch the subset of TSs that contains any of the following strings in the name attribute (yes, the dashes and underscores included)
- -PT-
- -PI-
- -PIC-
- -PIT-
Can someone please explain how to do this?
- Search does not match the dashes and underscores, so I think it performs a fuzzy search. But it is not explained in the docs.
- ContainsAny appears to only work when the property of interest is an array. So I cannot use this filter to check if a string property contains any of a list of search strings. But this limitation is drastically undercommunicated in the docs. After reading the docs several times it looks like ContainsAny is more like an EqualsAny in a similar way to In?
So it appears this simple filtering I try to do is not possible?
