[mapserver-users] RE: using pattern or nullformat in templates - Mapserver 5.4

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

Patterns are always a regex so the //'s aren't needed. Try:

  [item name="PHYZIP" pattern="^[1-9]"]

Hello,

I may have answered my own question. The following line works, however it has a mismatched number of brackets so it could be better written.

[item name="PHYZIP" nullformat="No Site Address" pattern=/^[1-9]

How would I rewrite this line of the template so that it is clean?

Thank You

Hello,

I am trying to display an address as part of my identify parcel template.  The template works fine for parcels that have a valid address.  However, for parcels that do not have an address a "0" is displayed (the zip field is a integer).  How can I change the results so that either nothing, or a message such as "no site address" is displayed?


When I try to use pattern:

*         [item name="PHYZIP" pattern=/^[1-9]/]   - displays the address if there is one, or "1/]" is there is not an address.
*         [item name="PHYZIP" pattern="/^[1-9]/"]  - crashes

Nullformat appears to only work with strings that are null, not integers that are 0.  Is there a way to set a nullvalue, for example:
*         [item name="PHYZIP" nullformat="No Physical Address" nullvalue="0"]

Thanks
