Line contains ALN or NUM

[M1K3-NL]

Hi, I have one more little question for you. Maybe you can help. It's the last "issue" I have, so I won't bother you after this haha.

Most of the FLEX messages is: FLEX|2020-10-17 18:40:22|1600/2/K/A|10.021|001523161|ALN|A2 Zadelmaker ALPHRN Directe inzet 16161 or FLEX: 2018-07-29 11:43:27 1600/2/K/A 10.120 [001523172] ALN A1 Boerhaavelaan HAARLM : 16172

But now I have a capcode with a different sort of line: FLEX: 2020-10-17 18:40:19 1600/2/A 10.020 [001530615] NUM 3301 Where 3301 is the message and NUM is the ALN.

Now the script is filtering on ALN by doing: message = line[line.find("ALN")+4:].strip() How can I add NUM to the line.find of the old FLEX code.

For now I have this running, but I only can test it if the 3301 NUM coming in and that's 0-10 times a day.

First you can switch back to the last multimon-ng version, then you do not need line[line.find("ALN")+4:] substring more. Only thing to add, will be if line.__contains__("ALN") or line.__contains__("NUM"), it should be enough. Or if you want, you can use something like message = line[line.find("ALN")+4:].strip() if "ALN" in line else line[line.find("NUM")+4:].strip() or any another check, you want. In general, switching to the last multimon-ng looks more easy.

I did not see this message before so cannot confirm that it works, but in theory it should be.

Hi, yes it's only in region 15 Haaglanden for some police code like narcotics, weapons and explosives service and the arrest team negotiator.

I'll look at your ideas tomorrow 🙂

Hello, both are working as you said. So you can add them to your own script if you like. 🙂

I'll close the issue now.
