Extracts information from the input string and moves the extracted string to the output element.

Properties

You can set the following properties for this transform in the Properties view:
  • Delimiter
  • Substring index
  • Specify an XPath expression as a condition. The transform will only run if the condition is fulfilled.

Example

The substring lastname, firstname with a "," delimiter and a substring index of 0 returns the value lastname. If you changed the substring index to 1 the output would be firstname.
