String Functions

/string/format/lowerCase

Convert the input string into lower case.

/string/format/upperCase

Convert the input string into upper case.

/string/format/normalize

Normalizes the input string by:

converting it to lower case
trimming it
replacing one or multiple # signs with “no”
replacing + with “plus”
replacing one or more occurances of the following symbols with empty string:
```
 /,\,:,;,-,(,),&,.,%,@,^,$,!,*,=,_,,,?,<,>,`,[,],~,',"
```

/string/format/replaceAll

Replaces all matches to the specified regex with replacement string.

Extra parameters:


{
    "regex": "<regex1>",
    "replacement": "<replacement string>",
    "quoteReplacement": "true|false"    
}

If quoteReplacement is set to "true", [Matcher.quoteReplacement](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/regex/Matcher.html#quoteReplacement(java.lang.String) function will be applied to the replacement string before passing it to the String.replaceAll function.

/string/format/replaceFromDictionary

Tokenizes the intput string using delimiter and replaces each token using dictionary. Extra parameters:


{
    "delimiter": "<delimiter>",
    "strategy": "exact|ignoreCase|normalize",
    "quoteReplacement": "true|false",
    "sourceName": "<dictionary source name>",   
    "spaceName": "<dictionary space name>",    
    "tableName": "<dictionary table name>",    
}

Dictionary table must have the following columns:

from - string to match
to - replacement string

Strategies:

exact - no transformation applied to the token and dictionary from-string before looking up in the dictionary
ignoreCase - String.toLowerCase function is applied to the token and dictionary from-string before looking up in the dictionary
normalize - InfoLink’s string/format/normalize function is applied to the token and dictionary from-string before looking up in the dictionary

/string/format/trim

Trim the input string.

/string/check/regex

Return "true" if all specified regex expressions match the input string. Otherwise returns "false".

Extra parameters:


{
    "regexes": ["<regex1>", ..., "<regexN>"],
    "caseSensitive": "true|false"    
}
OR
{
    "regex": "<regex1>",
    "caseSensitive": "true|false"    
}

/string/get/regex

Validate the input string against the set of regular expressions returning a String value of the aggregated groups. See org.apache.commons.validator.routines.RegexValidator.validate() .

Extra parameters:


{
    "regexes": ["<regex1>", ..., "<regexN>"],
    "caseSensitive": "true|false"    
}
OR
{
    "regex": "<regex1>",
    "caseSensitive": "true|false"    
}
