Hi,
I have an input string "AAABCCDEK".I want to insert a character '^' at 4th and 8th position of the string using transformer stage.
My output should look like this "AAA^BCC^DEK".
Can somebody help me out in this logic?

Assuming the string is exactly nine characters long:

Code: Select all

InLink.TheString[1,3] : "^" : InLink.TheString[4,3] : "^" : InLink.TheString[7,3]

The length of input string will vary but position of characters to be inserted will be at 4th and 8th only.

So you need to len() function also:

Code: Select all

InLink.TheString[1,3] : "^" : InLink.TheString[4,3] : "^" : InLink.TheString[7,len(InLink.TheString)-6]
