Did you manage to solve this problem of extracting and comparing a substring?
I was trying to do something similar and tried using the substring function, but got the error "failed to query verify path". Does anyone know if VerifyPath supports string functions like contains, string-length, substring? Thanks. Kevin Burton-8 wrote: > > My problem was similar but as I see it more complex.
