Hi there,
I am not a coder and am new here, working on some automation tasks with low code. I want to use filters to select specific keywords from an RSS feed. Once the criteria are met, the process will continue. However, I find it to be a huge workload to enter the filters, as shown in the picture below.
Is there a more efficient method for doing this?
Many thanks.
That’s the way to do it if you want to filter for those key words.
If you need to copy the filter to another module and it is tedious due to all of the filters. Then you can use the make devtool. You can read about it here
Welcome to the Make community!
You can use a Text operator: Matches Pattern operator to combine all of those filter conditions.
Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Is Matches Pattern used with a text operator the same as within a text parser module, so can I use the information here (https://www.make.com/en/help/tools/text-parser#match-pattern)? Or is there a better help page for creating patterns for text operators? Couldn’t easily find one by searching for it?
Apparently you need to create a regular expression and the links in the page mentioned above help with this.
Or you could use chatGPT.to help you create the regular expression like so:
Yes, it’s similar.
For example for the above question, you’ll just join all the contains with a pipe symbol like this, and add plain brackets (not Make brackets) around it.
(ctDNA|cfDNA|cell free DNA|cirulate tumor DNA|circulating tumor DNA)
The pattern can be further reduced to:
(c[tf]DNA|(cell free|(cirulate|circulating) tumor) DNA)
Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Yes, that should do it. Have you tried it yet?
Yes, Many Thanks for your help.
Thanks, That is a good idea. ChatGPT helps a lot.
