Hi all,
I'm looking to trim a string to max. 35 characters.
Actually 34 characters and ending with a "." to indicate the string has been shortened.
What transformer can I use? Or does this require some RegEx?
Thanks,
Ed

How to trim string length to max. 35 characters?
Best answer by david_r
You could create a small custom transformer which could contain a StringLengthCalculator, a Tester (_length > 34), which, if true, would use a SubstringExtractor to get the first 34 characters and then add the point.

I would expect the StringFormatter to be able to handle the trimming, but it doesn't seem to want to do that.

I'm almost there but how to I add the "." at the end of the string?
AttributeManager, set the value of that attribute to the original plus a .
That's what I like about this forum - you guys are so quick to respond!
