[FME 2011] String padder doesn't work

Question

Hi folks,

I have a simple workbench taking an ArcSDE spatial table as input. In this table, I have a string field I want to fill with 2 digits. This field already has values, but a lot of them are only coded on 1 digits (1,Z,a...).

I thought of insert a left pad and replace this pad with a digit of my choice (0 or Z) to make my field homogeneous.

But the StringPadder doesn't work...

At now, I don't have a writer, I'm only working with visualizer to see the potential result, and it's always wrong, I mean values still have the same length.

Does it make sense ? Any idea ?

Thanks a lot,

François

Hi Francois,

I cannot reproduce your situation, the StringPadder of FME 2013 works successfully. If the StringPadder does not work anyway, try the StringFormatter instead.
