Question
Concatenation of Full Name from First and Last
Hello,
I am trying to use a data transform to copy 2 properties, First and Last Name, from a page and concatenate them to create one property called Full Name. Is this something I can do with a data transform? Do I need to use an activity and call a java function to do this?
Hi Isabella,
Best approach is data approach but for learning purpose, we can do concatenation using API function -
try
{
ClipboardPage cb = tools.findPage("pyWorkPage");
String fname = cb.getIfPresent(".FirstName").toString();
String lname = cb.getIfPresent(".LastName").toString();
String fullName = null;
if(!(fname.equals("") || lname.equals("")))
fullName = fname+" "+lname ;
else
fullName = "Not Present";
tools.createPage("Class Name","Concatenate");
tools.findPage("Concatenate").getProperty("FullName").setValue(fullName);
}
Hello Isabella,
Yes, you can concatenate two or more properties in a data transform. Just a basic Action: Set Target: .FullName Relation: equal to Source: .FirstName + " " + .LastName should do the trick. Obviously, if the FullName property needs to reside on a different page, you will need to explicitly map the pages as appropriate.
Thanks,
Mike
