Hi Stan,
I'm having some trouble figuring out how to work the match file filter.
I have a txt file with 50 lines, and I generate a full package of all possible combinations 880,000 (UK Daily Play 27/7).
I want to filter such that every line of the 50 lines is checked against the full package and leaves only tickets that match 1,2 or 3 numbers in each of the 50 lines in the file.
I can do this manually with the Match Numbers filter, putting in the numbers for each line, and filtering for match 1,2, or 3 (leave). This works well and leaves me with about 60,000 + tickets. But this method is cumbersome and time consuming
When I try and automate this and use the match file filter, choosing the txt file and Match 1,2,3 (leave), I have alot more tickets left in the package - about 700,000+
Why are these 2 methods giving different results and how can I do this easily ?
thanks,
Sliver

Hi Sliver,
I hope in match File filter, its using OR conditions. but when do it in match Number filter, then its working in AND condition.
Try this,
Create a compound filter and first add match 1 alone and match 2 alone and match 3 alone (load the same text file in each filter) . save them in AND condition. and Run this compound filter, see the result.
