How to use a wildcard variable in an expression.

I am working on a visibility animation that I can't figure out how to get right.
I want to compare two different string tags, one of them has a specific string value that is needed and the other can be anything but blank. How do i tell the expression to agree with any alphanumeric characters?

Thanks in advance for any help!!

BTW, I'm using Factory Talk View SE

If anyone needs to know more information let me know.......any input is greatly appreciated.

Is it easier to do a comparison within the PLC?

Use a not equal instruction to compare a blank string to your reference string, if the result is true, then display your animation....

Thanks for the suggestion! I ended up using the "NOT" instruction and it worked great.
