<![CDATA[Parsing DCI instance discovery name]]>Hello

When creating DCi with instance discovery how can i parse the name to remove text between "[" and "]" inlcuding brackets also?

Example name: Camera - Name a - b - c [4a613e60-77f3-4e32-8d8e-d4723d945b98]

m = $1 match "(.+)\[.+\]";

if (m) {

  return %(true, $2, m[1]);

}
else
{
  return false;
}

Just open "Hint" in filter script editor, it has the necessary information. Here's an example script:

m = $1 match "(.+)\[.+\]";
if (m) {
  return( %(true, m[1]) );
}
else
{
  return false;
}

First line matches instance against a regex. The regex has one capture group which returns anything that is prior to [.
If regex got matched we can get this capture group as first element of array m.
