Find task with * % /

Question

Hi,

I am using find task Show find task results in a DataGrid | ArcGIS API for JavaScript  to display my data in the grid. But since user may not be aware about exact names of the attributes he want to enter data like a* or a% or a/ which should display the data as all data starting with a.

Any suggestion how to achieve this functionality will be helpful

Thanks

Aditya Kumar

Hi Robert,

I tried to execute in this way.

map.on("load", function () {

//Create the find parameters

findParams = new FindParameters();

findParams.contains = false;

findParams.returnGeometry = true;

findParams.layerIds = [0];

findParams.searchFields = ["OWNERNME1"];

findParams.outSpatialReference = map.spatialReference;

console.log("find sr: ", findParams.outSpatialReference);

});

Please let me know if the codes are fine because I am not getting the desired results.

Then you set contains to false.

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the reply. The point mentioned by you is correct but in this case one more issue is there i.e if I type KA instead of getting the name starting with ka its giving me results which all contain the word.

Is there any way if I put KA it should give me only  values that     we start with KA.

Thanks
