mp_searchtool fuzzy match

[kkchandok]

Hello,

Can the macro find fuzzy matches? . If the variable VSORRES is in multiple datasets but with a different suffix such as VSORRES1, VSORRES_02 etc...how would the macro parameters be filled.

%mp_searchcols(libs=work, cols=vsorres);

It's not currently set up for that but shouldn't be too hard to do, it's a matter of updating line 56 here: https://core.sasjs.io/mp__searchcols_8sas_source.html

Would you consider making a pull request? Else I'll jump on it when things get quieter, right now we're busy adding new features to Data Controller -https://docs.datacontroller.io/roadmap/

Allan,

thank you for getting back to me. I will try to update the ode on line 56. What is a pull request? I do not know how to do it. Also what is the purpose of the Data Controller?

Thank You, Kamal

Data Controller has the exact functionality you are looking for - you can literally just type your prefix into the search bar and it will instantly give you the matches. I made this video to demonstrate:

It's powered by this macro. If it's interesting, just fill out the contact form here

Anyway - taking a look at your issue now.

Hi Allan, I haven't had a chance to check the code out. I have some tight deadlines to work on. I will email you if I run into issue when I check the macro.

Thank You, Kamal
