Filter
Gives a zero-based array containing subset of a string array based on a specified filter criteria
Filter( InputStrings, Value[, Include[, Compare]])
The Filter function syntax has these parts:
Part |
Description |
InputStrings |
Required. One-dimensional
array of strings to be searched. |
Value |
Required. String to
search for. |
Include |
Optional. Boolean value
indicating whether to return substrings that include or exclude
Value. If Include is True, Filter returns
the subset of the array that contains Value as a substring.
If Include is False, Filter returns the subset
of the array that does not contain Value as a substring. |
Compare |
Optional. Numeric value
indicating the kind of string comparison to use. See Settings

Null or is not a one-dimensional array.
The array returned by the Filter function contains only enough
elements to contain the number of matched items.
