Matching date except birthday Sun Mar 16, 2025 4:24 pm • by roland.voglaire
Hi Everybody

Is there a way to have a matching content rule, that look for a date, but exclude my birthday ? I have a lot of official documents to scan, and, of course, the first matching date is always my birthday ..
Thank you in advance

Try setting the pattern to match the 2nd occurrence.

Thank you for your answer! I already tried, but it's not always working. I was wondering if there was an "expect" code for it, like match if not ...

But thanks again !

You could try having your custom date attribute on the left hand side of a condition and "is not specific date" and specify your birthday. You may need a version of this rule to match the 1st, 2nd, etc occurrences.
