Hi Mark, I'll have a go at a Custom Transformer.
Is there any way of publishing a list of options (for a drop-down selection) from within a custom transformer? If not, can I put in an enhancement request for that? It would be useful for yes/no type options as well as conditional processing based on a larger set of values. While I'm here, I've been having problems trying to figure out how to strip all internal spaces from a string. I've been playing around with StringReplacer and StringPairReplacer with no luck. Any ideas?

It'll help tidy the workspace and you may be able to publish and share some of the parameters so you aren't having to set them in so many places. Alternatively the StringReplacer might be of use. If you set the output attribute name to be the same as the source you wouldn't need an AttributeXxxx transformer and I don't think there would be any problems. Again you could publish the regular expression or replacement text settings to avoid having to set them multiple times. Mark Mark Ireland, Product Support Engineer Safe Software Inc.
