13 years ago Now I tried and tried and the problem are the brackets around the value of 'prefix'. So, if you got some time to kill, you can try this view: { function(doc) { if(doc._id) { var prefix = doc._id.match(/^[a-z/]+(?![A-Za-z0-9-]+)/); if(prefix) { emit(prefix,doc); } } } }
If you have some documents and take a peek of the view in futon you get a result like in the key-section this: ["verband/regional/landes/kreis"] leaving out the last part of the document-id: "id": "verband/regional/landes/kreis/staffel"
What I need is a prefix result like this: "verband/regional/landes/kreis"
Any kind of hint highly appreciated, I got stuck (again)
Description of the view I created: _id for the document created this way: "_id": "verband/regional/landes/kreis/staffel" so, there is the possibility that an _id looks like this: "_id": "verband/staffel" So I created a view using this RegEx: /^[a-z/]+(?![A-Za-z0-9-]+)/ which matches lower-keys and a slash until an expression having defenitely no slash. If I take a look at Futon running the view I get a response and the key section's looking fine apart of the fact that it seems to be an array - why that? ["verband/regional/landes/kreis"] So, if I directly put this to an URL with the key wrapped like this: ?key=["verband/regional/landes/kreis"] the browser shows me what I want and the log shows me this:

complete view script: function(doc) { if(doc._id) { // from the start (^) match everything that has lower case characters and a slash // as many times possible [a-z]+ until finding a match without a slash which is dropped // (?![A-Za-z0-9-]+) var prefix = doc._id.match(/^[a-z/]+(?![A-Za-z0-9-]+)/); if(prefix) { emit(prefix,doc); } } }
