Hi all,
I'm trying to update a certain string by adding text in front of it.
Any string that starts with a number should be updated by placing a certain part of text in front of it.
(in below example adding "EVS" in front of it.) Any string that does not start with a number should remain untouched.
What I have:
Attribute: "locationName"
142736-1
Testlocation1
What I want:
EVS142736-1
Testlocation1
Many thanks,
Ed
Best to use stringconcatenator.
Hi @todd_davis, thanks for the suggestion.
Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the StringConcatenator, can you perhaps show me what the transformer settings would look like?
Thanks
Assumed for this example that 142736-1 is in an attribute called "Code" and that EV is constant for all feature. The resultant attribute is stored in the attribute "_result"
I have updated the first post with more info / example.
The attribute name is "locationName"
- If a string starts with a number it should be updated to "EVS + original value"
- If a string starts with text it should be left untouched.
Can the StringConcatenator handle this?

Else <do nothing>
The regular expression ^\\d matches a digit at the head of the string.
1. Use SubstringExtractor to get first character of the string
2. Use AttributeValidator to test above character type: 'rule configuration' = integer
3. Use StringConcatenator add specified string prefix to above validated records
