Boolean Converter
The Boolean converter converts any pattern and returns a Boolean value: true or false if there is any pattern found. If no pattern found, no value is returned and instead, a warning message is displayed on top of the Test Input window.

If this option is selected, the action ignores the case of the pattern's content.

Converting rules
-
By default, if the input text is a boolean value itself, the output is the same as the input. Note that it is case sensitive. This rule only applies to lower case true and false.
-
The order of the formats matters, that is the action starts searching for matching formats from the top. When any matching pattern is found, the result is returned regardless of any other patterns located below the found one.
