[Geomoose-users] Expressions

[Jay Kapalczynski]

Now I am a bit confused....
I am trying to exclude all 6's and just show the other values
Instead of writing expressions for each of the 15 separate values I just want to exclude one or two....thus labeling all the others.
It appears that I will have to write every expression out to include all 15 values???? Is that correct????

Note that I am using expressions to label features...I can do that right?

I am trying to simply apply an expression to the DIAMETER field and just show values of 8
It errors out and just wont draw the feature and label
Figure I would first just try and get a single label to work

Thoughts?

LAYER # Watermain_Pipe
                      #NAME Watermain_Pipe
                      DATA './watermain_pipes.shp'
                      STATUS DEFAULT

Actually, that will exclude anything with a 6 in it.

An easier way to go...

LAYER
    CLASS
       EXPRESSION '6'
        # Leave this blank
    END
    CLASS
           .... everything else ....
    END
END

Yep, you just use a regular expression: /[^6]/

This is a mapserver syntax.

Is there a way to form a NOT statement in the expression...

To say for instance...show me all but EXPRESSION "6"

Instead of having to write each one out that you want....say I have pipe sizes 1-30 but 90% are 6 inches....jsut show the ones that are not 6 iches...
This should decrease the amount of labeling I have to do
