Ignore Char Values
Summary
Use this component to conditionally pass or block character input based on a comparison with a specified character value.
Description
This component examines an incoming character—or text interpreted as a single character—and compares it against a configured **Value**. You can optionally ignore case sensitivity by enabling **Ignore Case**. Depending on the configuration: - **Pass Equal Values**: allows the character to pass only if it matches the Value. - **Pass Values Below**: allows the character to pass only if it is alphabetically before the Value.
If the comparison passes, the character is forwarded to the **Out** pin; otherwise, it is suppressed. This is useful for filtering or gating character-based data—especially when you want to permit or block certain characters based on custom conditions.
