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?

Thanks,
Jason

A better way would be to encapsulate the Tester and AttributeSetter
inside a custom transformer. 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.
