Fuzzy Search
« on: 15 Aug 2020, 17:52 »
Hi
I have my lay trigger working fine and taking selections from a list usingas a condition of placing the bet:

Selections Trigger expression “sel_name” is in file C:\etc\etc.

My list is in this form in a txt file
"First Horse"
"Second Horse"

My question. I have tried and it seemed ok it imported the name. Will fuzzy search work in this scenario, of actually placing the bet, or will it still only import, and place if completely correct spelling?
*"Ferst Horse"
*"Second Herse"

Obvioulsy, if it would import the second version, it would help with Betfair's spelling and my poor typing.

Cheers
Mike

Yes, it will tolerate up to 3 incorrect or missing characters, however, beware of situations where there will be two horses with very similar names on the same day. A quick check will keep you on the safe side.
Always try your triggers in Test Mode before switching to real money!
