UDF for Special Character Conversion

[Former Member]

Hello All,

Can any one help me with the UDF for special character conversion code.

I mean if a special character is given it should pass a blankspace.

Many thanks,

Rahul.

Hi all,

Thank you very much for replying to my thread.

What would be the case if I pass a wild character

and that should be changed to another value.

In such case can anyone suggest what would be the UDF.

Thanks,

Rahul.

HI Rahul,

Use Constant function and specify the desired value for that input field, for any input value it replaces with the value defined in the function properties.

Hi Rahul ,

the best way to deal with special character is to use proper encoding in your Sender Communication channel it self .So that in your payload you will get proper value .

IF you are getting some special character which is not covered in encoding UTF-8 thne you can use encoding IS0-8859-1 .You can easily refer in help that how to use encoding in your communication channel .

Hi

you can use the standard repleceString function available.

Input field----->

Constant(*)-->replace string function--->target field

Constant(a)---->

Note:

constant(*)----> set the constant as *

constant(a)---->set the constant as a or your new value.

Thanks
