Question

Open Text Editor or Open Arithmetic Editor => Open Editor

+12

Is it possible to create a unified editor for both text and arithmetic?

It would simplify the process of assigning variables to text rules or mathematical calculations, visible in a function dropdown box.

For example: A rule definition can begin with a codeword, like Calc(....), to be processed as arithmetic or recognized by AI?

Such a codeword already exists: @Evaluate()

Entering 1+1 in the Text Editor will result in the string 1+1

Entering @Evaluate(1+1) in the Text Editor will result in the number 2

(and FME will automatically switch to the Arithmatic Editor)

Thanks for the answer. 👍

Hope that Dropbox box in attributes can show only one function: Open Editor in FME Form.
