How does the contain function work?

[icostan2]

Hi,

I want to check if the word 'POST' comes back in a contextual attribute: {{context.journey.events.00000._company.igOrder.igEntries.CarrierUid}}

So I want this:

If {{context.journey.events.00000._company.igOrder.igEntries.CarrierUid}} contains the word 'Post' ( not case sensitive), I want to show: "Post bezorging" in the e-mail.

I know how to use the if statements, but the documentation is totally not clear about how to use the contain function. 

Can someone help me with this?

Thanks!!

Hello @icostan2 

You can do it like this.

{%#if(contains(context.journey.events.00000._company.igOrder.igEntries.CarrierUid, "post", false)) %}
If field containss post print something
{% else %}
Post not found in the field
{%/if%}

More info on function is available here: String functions library | Adobe Journey Optimizer

Hi, I tried these two ways, but they don't work. Do you know how else I could try it? Thanks for your help! @Manoj_Kumar_

@icostan2 remove the single quote around the event id

content.journey.event.'816428911'

Just tested it. That won't work either.

It seems all these functions are designed to work independently. If we wrap them within other functions they are not working.
