Input Text Here, enter the string that you want to modify. This can be entered using the keyboard or in the wizard, including with the help of the pin variables.

If you have selected the Find and replace text mode, the following variables are also displayed.

Find what Here, enter what is to be found and replaced. You can enter any text you wish or define the text via the pin variable.

Replace with Here, enter what is to replace the text found under Find what. Again, you can enter any text you wish or define the text via the pin variable.

Result The modified string is output as the result. You can then use it in the subsequent Action Steps.

Undefined is the default value in the String operation field. You first have to select an operation.

You can use one of the following modes:

With Find and replace text, you can search for specific parts of the text and replace them.

Example:

String = DE123456789

Find what = DE

Replace with = FR

Output = FR123456789

Left (take first characters) Enter the number of characters that are to be output as the result.

Example:

String = DE123456789

Number of characters = 4

Output = DE12

Right (take last characters) Here, you specify how many characters from the end of the string are to be output as the result.

Trim left (remove first characters) With this option, you can specify the length that the string is to be shortened by. Selecting Trim left means that the string is shortened from the beginning.

Example:

String = DE123456789

Number of characters = 4

Output = 3456789

Trim right (remove last characters) In the same way as with Trim left, you determine the length of the string. The only difference is that the string is shortened at the end.

The various modes cannot be combined with each other.
