I am parsing a text file with semi-formatted data. I use the SplitContent processor to get me each "block" of data- basically each object, and then the ExtractText processor to get all the individual properties that will be associated to that object.
So I might have a flowfile with data: foo1: bar1 foo2: bar2 foo3: bar3 When I push that flowfile into the ExtractText processor (which has "Enable repeating capture group" set to true) and run my capture group regex on it, I'm left with dynamic, numerated attributes. If I call my dynamic attribute "fields" then my flowfile attrs will have: fields.1 --> foo1 fields.2 --> bar1 fields.3 --> foo2 fields.4 --> bar2 fields.5 --> foo3 fields.6 --> bar3 Now I'd like to push this flowfile into an UpdateAttribute and turn my dynamic list into real, accessible attributes. The intention would then be to go into an AttributesToJSON processor. The question is: how do I configure the UpdateAttribute processor to have a new attribute of "foo1" using "fields.n" with a value of "bar1" using "field.n+1" and then dynamically add the other five as well? It seems like the ability to store repeating capture groups as attributes must imply that theirs a way to actually USE those attributes dynamically.
