the H16 docs show a conditional “=~” as being useable to match a regular expression in a value.
http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini16.0/ref/windows/optype#conditionals [www.sidefx.com]
however, “=~” seems to actually behave the same as “==”
I have a parm “parmA” with the value “_foo_bar_”
I have another parm, and the following conditionals do NOT disable the parm:
{ parmA =~ * }
{ parmA =~ /*/ }
{ parmA =~ “*” }
{ parmA =~ foo }
{ parmA =~ “*foo*” }
however, the following conditional *DOES* disable the parm:
{ parmA =~ _foo_bar_ }
has anybody ever gotten a regular expression conditional to disable a parm ?
