You do this with an AttributeCreator with two rows:

New Attribute: Name Attribute Value: @Substring(@Value(YourFieldName),0,@FindRegEx(@Value(YourFieldName),QD))

New Attribute: Block Attribute Value: @Substring(@Value(YourFieldName),@FindRegEx(@Value(YourFieldName),QD))

Hi @tomjerry.vl,

If you're not too familiar with using string functions you can also do this with a series of String transformers:

1. StringSearcher - use regex to find the string that matches QD to end of string and create the new Block attribute from this.

2. StringReplacer - use the same regex and replace with nothing to get just the Name.

An example workspace is attached: none2none.fmw

This is another option:

Use AttributeSplitter (separator is a space) and store parts in a list.

Then use an AttibuteCreator to create:

Name = _list{0}

Block = _list{1} _llst{2}

This works as long as the Name contains no spaces.

Hello,

To do this, I would use an Attributesplitter, setting it so that the "Deliver or Format string" is QD and allow it to trim white space. It will create a list that I would then explode an test by the _element_index (either 0, thus rename attribute column 1, or 1 and then with a string concatenator add "QD " before the number).

I would then use a Feature merger to put together the différent elements. Eitzher, you merge using the complete line or, to do it faster by using number instead of text, you can put a counter before the attribute splitter and use this parameter.

I tried this using a text file but maybe with your input data you have already such a parameter.

Hope this help

V.
