Case Decision

Author: Jerry Chae

Description

This plugin brings more smartness to your bot --- It features a decision-making mechanism based on multiple datapoints. It takes one or many statements (expressions) as input. It computes and summarizes which statements are True and returns the summary as output. This not only replaces conventional “if-then-else” sequence in coding but also introduces capabilities to reach decisions after considering various conditions.

Restrictions

Up to version 3.916.1000, the total number of characters in the Expression section cannot exceed 256.

Input (Required)

Expression --- at least one

Output/Return Value

Character String of Index(s) of the TRUE expressions
When there is no TRUE expression, the plugin returns 0

How does it work? A simplified example is below.

Expressions

Product is Apple
Product is Wine
Origin is Washington
Origin is Oregon

When you have an apple from Washington, you receive [1,3]

When you have a wine from California, you receive [2]

When you have an orange from Florida, you receive [0]

Numeric value can be used!

Both integer and float values can be used in the expression statements

Integer: 1, -2

Float: 12.34, -1.23, .0001

Values a automatically and intelligently converted into appropriate type at the time of execution.

If String is compared against numeric values, then the numeric values will be regarded as string.

Supported Formats

Note 1) It is optional to have one space before/after an operator (a symbol between values).

Note 2) If a variable is empty, then [{{my.a}} !=] will return TRUE. However, [{{my.a}}== ] returns false because there is a space after ==.

Equal To

String = String

Numeric = Numeric

String == String

Numeric == Numeric

Not Equal To

String != String

Numeric != Numeric

String <> String

Numeric <> Numeric

Greater Than

String > String

Numeric > Numeric

Greater Than or Equal To

String >= String

Smaller Than

String < String

Numeric < Numeric

Smaller Than or Equal To

String <= String

Numeric <= Numeric

Find String

Use 2 vertical bars || --- example --- StringToFind || StringToMatchWithWildcard

Wildcard is * (asterisk)

Starts with
abc___def || abc*

Ends with
abc***def || *def

abc*zzz*def || *zzz*

Starts and Ends with
abc-zzz-def || abc*defReturn Code

Return Value

Index (1-base) of the True expression

Examples

3 --- if only the 3^rd expression is true

2,3 --- if the 2^nd and the 3^rd expressions are both true\
