Dear FME community,

I have an attribute from an WFS which has values of more than 200 chars. I want to trim down the length of that attribute because my database only allows for a specific length. Is there a way to "cut" the attribute after a specific length so that it doesen't exeed for example 200 chars. The values after that can be ignored (only the first 200 signs should be taken).

Many thanks for your help and kind regards

Thomas

there are different ways.

You could for instance use a Substringextractor. (0,199)
