Dear all,

I am trying to have a drop-down list in order to do custom column filtering.

But, I can not obtaing an exact filter match. i.e. "1" is "1" no "11" or "21" or "1x" or "x1"

You can check my tables in this url: http://www.rlmm.org/ojs-files/library.php

Can you help how to modify my existing code?

Regards,

hi lorenzoat,

you need to add extra regular expression in your string...try this...i am sure it will help you.. don't forget to disable regx in filter function.

valueNeedtoFilter = "^\\s*"+data+"\\s*$";
oTable.fnFilter(valueNeedtoFilter ,iColumn,false,);

You can see this post also...http://datatables.net/forums/comments.php?DiscussionID=4096&page=1#Item_5
Thanks,

the correct format and values for exact match are

sortby = "^\\s*"+data+"\\s*$";
oTable.fnFilter(sortby, iColumn, true);

exact match is not working
This is my code
$("#fromDate").change( function () {
var oSettings = oTable.fnSettings();
oSettings.aoPreSearchCols[ 3 ].bRegex = false;
oSettings.aoPreSearchCols[ 3 ].bSmart= false;
var valueNeedtoFilter = "^\\s*"+this.value+"\\s*$";
oTable.fnFilter( valueNeedtoFilter, $(".filters th input").index(this),true);
} );
Any one help me

Drop the white space matching - it shouldn't be needed with individual column filtering.

i didn't understand, can you explain little bit more, it will helpful for me

You've got white space matching in your variable valueNeedtoFilter that you use to filter the column. I would suggest (unless you specifically put white space in the data for the columns) that you need to remove that.
