String

String-type variables can be used to populate rule properties with character data that does not appear in local data files or incoming documents.  All Actions are described below.

Concatenate

Joins two string values (SourceString1 and SourceString2) into one string value.

ConcatenateMany 

Joins up-to-10 string values into one string value (with an optional specified Separator) into one string value; the UseRawValue Boolean input property defaults to false.

Contains

Determines if a string value (ContainsText) is found in another string value (Text) and returns a Boolean value.

DecodeString

Takes a Base64 encoded string value (text) and returns a normal string value.

EncodeString 

Takes a normal string value (text) and returns a Base64 encoded string value.

EndsWith

Determines if a string value (text) ends with another string value (suffix) and returns a Boolean value.

ExtractAfter

Inspects a string value (Text) for the existence of another string value (ContainedText) and returns a string value with the characters located after the ContainedText.

ExtractBefore

Inspects a string value (Text) for the existence of another string value (ContainedText) and returns a string value with the characters located before the ContainedText.

ExtractDigits

Extracts all digits from a String value (input) and returns a string value.

GetMatchList

Returns a List of String values for all occurrences in a String value (text) matching a regular expression (pattern).

IsStringEmpty 

Determines if a string value (text) is not present and returns a Boolean value.

Length

Determines the length of a string value (text).

Matches

Determines if a string value (text) matches a specified regular expression (pattern) and returns a Boolean value.

Normalize 

Replaces multiple occurrences of white spaces with a single white space and eliminates leading/training white spaces in a string value (text) and returns a string value.

NotContains

Determines if a string value (ContainsText) is not found in another string value (Text) and returns a Boolean value.

NotEndsWith

Determines if a string value (text) does not end with another string value (suffix) and returns a Boolean value.

NotStartsWith

Determines if a string value (text) does not start with another string value (prefix) and returns a Boolean value.

NumberOfMatches

Determines the number of times a string value (pattern) occurs in another string value (text). 
 

Replaces all occurrences of a string value (str) with another string value (replacement) in another string value (text) and returns a string value.

Split 

Splits a string value (text) based on a regular expression (pattern) and returns a list of string values.

StartsWith

Determines if a string value (text) starts with another string value (prefix) and returns a Boolean value.

StringEquals

Determines if two string values (SourceString1 and SourceString2) are equal and returns a Boolean value.

StringEqualsNormalized 

Determines if two normalized string values (SourceString1 and SourceString2) are equal and returns a Boolean value.

StringNotEquals

Determines if two string values (SourceString1 and SourceString2) are not equal and returns a Boolean value.

StringNotEqualsNormalized

Determines if two normalized string values (SourceString1 and SourceString2) are not equal and returns a Boolean value.

Substring

Inspects a string value (Text) and returns a string value containing only the characters located beginning at a specified start position for a specified Length. Leading spaces are not considered part of the text. The start position will start after the leading spaces.

SubstringReplace

Inspects a string value (Text) and returns a string value containing the original characters 
except that those located beginning at a specified Text Start Position for a specified Text Length, inclusive, are replaced with another string value (Replacement); optionally, a Replacement Start Position (which defaults to zero) and a Replacement Length (which defaults to the remaining length of Replacement) may be specified.

ToLowerCase 

Converts all characters of a string value (text) to lower case and returns a string value.

ToUpperCase

Converts all characters of a string value (text) to upper case and returns a string value.
