Split Transformation
- Elaine Foley
Analytics
The SplitTransformation can split text (strings) based on any character or value e.g. take the original file name and split underline or dash to then use the output in a JoinByTransformation and concatenate the filename parts with a space.
Input: "picturepark-pim-dam-platform.pdf"
SplitTransformation:
separators: "-", "_" , "."
keepEmpty: null
trim: null
Output: picturepark pim dam platform pdf
Input: "title that is written into the title field"
SplitTransformation:
separators: " "
keepEmpty: null
trim: yes
followed by a JoinByTransformation: join by "-"
Output: title-that-is-written-into-the-title-field (a slug you can use for publishing online)
