hello, is there a way to write “OR” and “AND” statements in a code block? Like for example use it to search a list for one of the words that I put in the code block OR the other one. Similarly, look for Both words in a string, in the AND statement?
DS uses the same binary operators as C# so:
OR ||
AND &&
NOT !
Shortcuts are not supported.
Examples
a = true;
b= false;
c = a && b; //returns false as both statements need to be true
d = !a; //returns false (might be confusing, but say it in english: "NOT true", which is false!), similarly !false is true
e = a || b; //returns true as a is true
That won’t work as the context of the syntax is meaningless. I’m not sure if that nodes takes a list input, if it does change your codeblock to {"Boundary", "Masking"}; otherwise you will need to perform the operation using a two step process (i.e. Search for the first string then connect the output to another String Contains node to search for the other string.
Yeah, no it doesnt work. Ok I already had the two step process in place, just trying to simplify things. haha
This looks like a glitch in Dynamo itself.
Try restarting Dynamo in sandbox mode (not as a revit plugin) and giving it another go from scratch. If that doesn’t work post the results here and anyone else who opens it can check if it’s a coding issue on your end or an installation problem.
If it’d require a reinstall or other time consuming task or you need IT to run the install, you can also use the OOTB nodes which I call on in code blocks to produce the same result.
