7.4.2. The "Contains String" Operator
The "Contains String" Operator ( $ ) is used to search an entire
variable field for a given value or text string, without regard for
the item's position within the field.
For example, assume the variable "A" represents the first eleven
characters in the field for the number dialed as shown in
Figure 7.4. If Match Parameters are defined as " A$714 ", then
NetLink will search all eleven "digits" of the field. This Data
Filter would match any record that contains the string "714"
anywhere in the phone number, including records where "714" was
the area code, and records where 714 was part of the number
dialed.
7.5. Real Time Variables
Data Filter Clues can also include Real-Time variables that
monitor the NetLink's internal clock and calendar
Real-Time variables do not use the Data Filter Format, or monitor
the contents of the call record. When Real-Time variables are
used, NetLink will check its internal clock and calendar as each
record is received. If the time and/or date matches the Clue
definition, the call is flagged and stored or rejected as specified by
the Data Filter Action prompt. NetLink's internal clock, rather
than the contents of the call record, determines whether the record
is stored or rejected.
The following Real-Time variables can be used to monitor the
internal clock and calendar.
Note: Real-Time variables are always entered as
lowercase characters.
