[Qgis-us-user] Capturing two records in a shape file

[Rob Bacigalupi]

Keith:

Thank you!  That worked.  As a follow up, what if I wanted to identify 20 zip codes?  There must be a more efficient way to do that with out going back and forth writing 20 different ‘OR’ statements.

Best,
Rob

I’m using a zip code shape file from the US census for the entire US and would like to create a new layer with just two zip codes.  When I go into properties/control feature symbology/add rule-based layer then go to create the filter, that’s where I run into trouble.  I’ve tried creating an expression string as follows:
