SMAT lookup

[Ken Seachrist]

I am trying to find records in a SMAT file that have to meet 2, possibly 3 criteria.  EACH message must have all of the information being used in the search.  I am looking for messages that have a YH in the MSH, then an ORM in the EVN, and finally EKG in another segment.  

I am using the “Include Those” and have it formatted as:

YH.*ORM.*EKG

Is this the correct format, because I keep getting messages that does not meet all of the criteria?  Thanks for any help you can provide!

First do a add specified messages to view that meet the first criteria.  Now remove specified messages that do NOT meet the second criteria, then remove specified messages that do NOT meet the 3rd criteria, and so on.

Ken ,

I believe when using the  “Include Those” option to search for multiple items you treat them like a regexp.

Try

YH|ORM|EKG

But this will search for each of these anywhere in the message.
