Using Profiler Filter Expressions

Most of the profiling views include a filter toolbar, which includes a text field. The specified text is used to filter the content, reducing the amount of information shown in the view and making it easier to find what you're looking for. The text filter can be used by simply typing text in it, and can also be used with advanced expressions, to better control the data filtered.

Refer to Filtering the Capture Log to learn more about filtering.

Below are examples of expressions that can be used in the text field:

SynopsisDescription

TEXT

Matches the beginning of words found in the source content. The matches are not case sensitive.

The source content is matched to words with non alpha numeric characters and case changes.

For example, TEXT would match:

  • TEXT

  • This is some TEXT

  • textual

  • object_text

  • ObjectText

  • some1text

  • Texture

TEXT would not match:

  • context

TEXT1 TEXT2

TEXT1 TEXT2 TEXT3

As above, but all of the words specified in the filter toolbar must match in the source content.

For example, TEXT1 TEXT2 would match:

  • text1 hello text2

  • text2 hello text1

  • text1_text2

It would not match:

  • text1

*TEXT

TE*XT

Wildcard case-insensitive match. Each wildcard can match 0 to n characters. It can be used to match end characters of words, or to match the beginning and end at the same time.

For example, *TEXT would match:

  • context

  • text

*TEXT would not match:

  • text1

"TEXT"

Case-insensitive match, if and only if the source content matches exactly with the filter criteria.

"TEXT" would match:

  • TEXT

  • text

"TEXT" would not match:

  • Some text

  • textual

  • context

!TEXT

-TEXT

Excludes the specified matching source content from the results.

This option can be used with any of the other expressions in this table.

These filter criteria would omit the following source content from the results:

  • text

  • textual

  • some text

This can be combined to other filter expressions, by simply adding ! or - in front of the expression.
