Options:
- Give preset groups of likely combinations:
00
orMAD
orFINCI
, etc.? Your selection looks well organised so an easy way to do this would be have three dropdowns,
- Dropdown 1:
All, 00, 01, 02, etc.
- Dropdown 2:
All, MAD, MAE, MAF, etc.
- Dropdown 3:
All, FINCI, FINCU, FINDO, FINNU, etc.
- Use the table component's column filter. (This isn't very powerful and doesn't allow wildcards.)
- Allow the user to create a pattern that could be used in an SQL "WHERE LIKE" clause. e.g.,
00-*-FINCI
*-MAD-*
MySQL, for example, allows use of regular expressions withREGEX_LIKE()
function, etc. Tutorial.
You would need to be very careful to sanatise this so that SQL injection is not possible.
