Regular Expression - Calculation - Boolean

Support
1

Hello,
We have 2 step process.

First step person scan a QR Code.
e.g
AB123_BLD123
or
AB123_ORL123

Where BLD = Blood and ORL == Oral fluid

Then we want to display to the user what type of sample they just scanned.

We tried a calculate using:
if(regex(${samplecode},'BLD'), 'blood', 'not_blood')

but doesn't work - just gives not_blood even when the entered value does contain the BLD string.

Thoughts welcomed!

See https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html

You likely need

'.BLD.'
