If nobody comes up with a real answer, I might have a hack for you :)

- If the data does not have a unique attribute, run it through a counter
with an output attribute name of _my_unique_id

- Connect one output of the counter to an AttributeRemover, removing the
area_heightlevel_2 field
- Connect the AttributeRemover to a Concatenator that concatenates
_my_unique_id+'-'+line_heightlevel into an attribute called _my_joiner

- Run a second connecter from the Counter through a ListExploder
- Pipe this through a GeometryRemover
- Connect the GeometryRemover to a Concatenator that concatenates
_my_unique_id+'-'+area_heightlevel1 into an attribute called _my_joiner
- Run this through an AttributeKeeper (keeping only the unique ID,
_my_joiner, and area_heightlevel_2

- pipe these both into a FeatureMerger, with the first stream being the
requestor, and the second stream being the supplier, using _my_joiner as
the join attribute for both.

- set the value of line_heightlevel to area_heightlevel2

Subject: [fme] search list by attribute value

Hi, after a lineonarea overlay I have line elements with its original
attribute (e.g. heightlevel) and a list of attributes, originating for
area elements (including heightlevel_1 and heightlevel_2 attribute).

I want to search the list based on the line heightlevel value; so not a
fixed value (only one area heightlevel_1 value will match). If I find my
match, the line heightlevel value is set to area heightlevel_2 value.
Stated differently:

IF line_heightlevel = area_heightlevel_1 THEN line_heightlevel =
area_heightlevel_2 END IF

In a listsearcher, I can obly use a fixed value, rather than the value
of a attribute.

Anyone the answer?
