Howdy,
I need to split a memo field (WrkDesc) that is over 2500 characters into several fields that are 255 characters or less (WrkDesc1, WrkDesc2, WrkDesc3, etc). Right now I laid out a bunch of SubstringExtractors which each grab a different section of the text (0-254, 255-508, 509-762, etc) and it works fine. However it seems like I should be able to do this within a single transformer like AttributeSplitter.
In the AttributeSplitter help it says "Alternatively, instead of using a delimiter character you can provide a string in the format #s#s#s, where each number is the length of the substring you wish to extract."
The way I interpreted that statement, for Parameter> Delimiter or Format String I inserted this: 254s508s762s1016s1270s1524s1778s2032s2286s2540s2794s and generated a list named _listWkDesc
However the output is a single list element _listWkDesc{0} with a copy of the memo fields entire original text. I had expected to see a bunch of list elements each with 254 character's of consecutive text.
Can someone point out the obvious and show me what I'm missing?
Thank you!
