Extracting specific attributes from a data list?

You should be able to use the adjacent feature option in an attributecreator to create groupings

Hi,

Thanks for your quick response!

I tried to do what you have suggested. However I don't get a (feature[-1].Group) attribute. I just get the attributes which can be seen in the attachment. Could you please tell me how can I get it.

One more thing. I do see the (feature[-1].Group) before I start fill in the if condition with (_extended_data_list) attribute. However, after adjusting the first if condition, the (feature[-1].Group)attribute disappears.

If you add another attributecreator in front creating a blank attribute of Group you'll then be able to select it in the second attributecreator. You can create a blank attribute a line up in the existing attributecreator, but fme will tell you you have an invalid transformer but it will work

Hi @egomm,

Now I create grouping for each set of atrributes which have the values of (name:..........., & string:........). There are many name:..... attributes but I just need one of them per every object. This attribute called exactly (name:USER_DATA) and the attributes beneath it which start with (string:.....). and the rest I don't want it. Do you have a tip on how to extract just those attributes I need. In the attached photos, I drew a line around the data I need. This data comes many time in the list and I need to extract it all. Do you have tips to do this. Thanks a lot!

You could alter your conditional value so that the rows that start with name:USED DATA are treated differently

e.g.

You could then use a tester to get rid of any features with a value of ignore

I tried it but it results in the following:

So all the values in Group is "ignore". The name:USER_DATA doesn't treated differently.

Dear @egomm,

It is solved now. I used regular expressions in the condition and now it works. Thanks a lot for the tip.
