Meaning of notification text contain

[Nolan]

Hi

if i get a notification from an app i can create a macro depending on te text that notification contains.

1. "contain" does that mean that if any of the words in the notification is found the condition is met?
   
   
2. What is the difference between the options:
   - Any
   - Matches
   - Excludes
   - Contains
   
   
3. If i would like to have ANY of say 2 words (either word A or B) which are present in a notification, of a given app, to activate an action, how can i achieve that?

Thanks
Nolan

ANY is everything so any notification and does not matter what the words are.
MATCHES is an exact match.
EXCLUDES is if there is a word you want to filter out so it trigger as long as the word is not in the notifation
CONTINS means it must have the word or sentence in.

To answer point 3, tick 'Enable regular expression matching' and the words or expressions by the '|' symbol: wordA|wordB|wordC

For CONTAINS option I'd rather say 'it must have...'
