Split Transformation

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)
