Multi-Select filter bug - not working on values that contain a space.

[shaneyEB]

Currently, I am using operator: OperatorType.inContains, and the filter only works if the values do not contain any spaces in them. It will not return any results for values that contain a spaces. Please see the ShareX for more details.

Hello, I'm not really sure why you've opened this issue in SlickGrid core lib because this is an Angular-Slickgrid specific feature.
The IN_CONTAINS filter uses the code from this line which is

    case 'IN_CONTAINS':
      if (value2 && Array.isArray(value2) && typeof value1 === 'string') {
        return value2.some(item => value1.split(/[\s,]+/).includes(item));
      }
      return false;

So I don't know what your text values are but it probably doesn't pass this test condition.
What's the reason that you're using the inContains?
I mean the default is IN with exact values and the only time you should use this filter type is when you want to use a dropdown Filter and your values are something like a CSV string
You might want to try inCollection that I added few months ago in this PR

a good, and rare, example of when inContains could be useful is this Angular-Slickgrid Example 27 that have values as CSV (comma separated values)

Thanks so much for your help. The IN_COLLECTION is working for my multiselect. I had to re install to get your latest fix that was put in on March 18. I also want to apologize for putting this request in the wrong place. I will submit future request in the angular-slickgrid support. I do want to point one thing out on example 27 it did not work for me. If you select a value with a space it does not work. Please see picture below. Again thank you so very much for your help. Have a wonderful day!

No problem, just wanted to highlight this because we are 2 different projects and maintainers of this lib 😃
Sometime the issue(s) are in Angular-Slickgrid but sometime they are in SlickGrid core lib, it all depends what the issue is, if you know which one is which then that helps us ;)

If you select a value with a space it does not work.

Ok good to know, I think the regex is too restrictive, I'll take a look at it later, thanks for the info

Glad to know you got it working
Cheers ⭐

and before I forget, I took a quick look at it and fixed it, I simply needed to add a trim to the string values to inspect and now it works. So thanks for reporting this (even if it was in the wrong lib) 😉

Also note that as I wrote in the comment of the IN_CONTAINS, that filter type is mostly oriented by be used with a CSV string.

  case 'IN_CONTAINS':
      if (value2 && Array.isArray(value2) && typeof value1 === 'string') {
        return value2.some(item => value1.split(/[,]+/).map(val => (val.trim())).includes(item));
      }
      return false;
