Convert Single char to multiple chars

[mrvsr]

Hi

Please help me in handling this conversion I would like to convert single char to 3 or 4 character in a string.
Ex: if I have string like below
'test convertion from and symbol to may&be or & and percentage to may%be or % '

That Should be converted to
'test convertion from and symbol to may'&and'be or '&and' and percentage to may'%pct'be or '%pct' '.

I have already tried with basic transformer but its giving some problems while executing. Please let me know how to achieve this using combination of functions or is there any function or routine available in DS8.0

The BASIC function "EREPLACE()" will do this, but it does not exist in PX. What problems do you have with the BASIC transform stage at V8 - I have seen that it works quite well and no longer shows sporadic comms issues as it has in the past.

I have tried Ereplace function its working fine. But we are running this job in online mode. The job has five transformers and one basic transformer.
will execute continuously. 2 sequence file output stage with overwrite.
after 2 or 3 iterations Basic tranformer not initiating.
If I run individually any no of times its running properly
but in loop with same input its not initializing in the second or third iteration.

So I dont want to use basic transformer since its online job and dont want to use more transformers So could you tell me how to achive this using
normal transformer functions.

[ArndW]

You cannot do this simply in a PX transform stage. You can write a BuildOP to do this, or perhaps use a UNIX program such as "sed" to do the conversion for you.

[ray.wurlod]

There is a PX version of Ereplace() which a Search of the forum should find for you.

[ArndW]

Ray, I used the search system but couldn't find a reference to a PX "ereplace" type function amongst the threads returned.

[ray.wurlod]

This is the one I had in mind.

DSGuru2B still owes the promised FAQ.

[krisna]

Ereplace() function is working fine, but didn't find similar function in PX.

[ArndW]

Ray - thanks; after I saw the post I realized that I snarfed a copy when he posted it. I thought you were referring to a built-in EReplace() call in PX.

We really should get a DSXchange toolbox put together.

[ray.wurlod]

VERY soon now the new version of DSXchange will be announced/launched.

They are just getting the server hosting organized.
