In mapping & symbol should be removed

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am doing one scenario file to idoc.

In my file structure i am getting '&' symbol and should be mapped to idoc structure.

But '&' symbol should be removed and get mapped to target structure.

In idoc i should not find '&'.

I have tried with replace string and varialble substitution but it not worked.

Can you please advise how this can acheive.

Thank,

Bhaskar

Hi,

You can use

&

instead of "&".

Try to change the XML encoding.

write a simple java mapping that will change all the & symbol in your file. you can use the replaceall function to the same.

Hi Shabharish,

We have function replace value, with this function can my prob solve?

or instead of java maping can i go for UDF?

How can change & symbol to &amp in XML coding?

Appreciate your inputs

Thanks,

Bhaskar

if you are looking to replace only values in a particular field UDF/standard functions is the easy way to go. But if you want to replace all & in the whole payload then use java mapping

Hi All,

My problem is solved.

I have gone with Java mapping as replace all with UDF not worked.

Thanks.. manjusha, jyothi, shabharish and others.

Hi bhaskar,

You can very well do it in Graphical mapping by writing a context UDF.

if (!(character == '&'))
