Table Editor/Field calculator/Condition field ?
Description
Calculate function allows to use "if" to add condition. But it doesn't seem to have a place to fill condition before field future content.
If ou insert "if(substr2( NOM ; 1 ; 6 )='CAMERA' ;'CAMERA' ;'' )" with quotes, if will obviously fill field with this value, but if you omit quotes, syntax will also be bad.
A "condition field" needs to be added to field calculator ?

Ok I understood, results are empty because I see only a few records with test, so it must be the ones for which condition is not set.
You can close this one.
So correct syntax is if(substr2( [NOM]; 0 ; 6 )="CAMERA" ;"CAMER" ;"" ) but it is test that is wrong
Yes, I checked 0,6, even 0 5 to see if it was char 0 to char 5 but checked with "test" and with test, all results are empty.
I've just checked this expression on other table and it worked. Are you sure that you are choosing the start index right (they are 0 based)?
ok, so valid expression should be if(substr2( [NOM]; 1 ; 6 )="CAMERA" ;"CAMERA" ;"" )
In my case, all results are always set to false (empty) even if some NOM field contains CAMERA_01, CAMERA_02...
