Hi Hans
your probles is that, in regexp a | means 'or' for exampe abc|def will match
a string with 'abc' or 'def' in. to get around the problem you can try
1. try escaping with a \ - \|
2. try putting it in bracets [] - [\]
both are working in tcl outside fme
the tcl command look like this, so if the stringRelacer dont work try the
TclExecuter
proc removePipe {yourAttr} { regsub -all -- {[|]} [FME_GetAttribute
$yourAttr ] {} }
or better this
proc removePipe {yourAttr} {
FME_SetAttribute $yourAttr [ regsub -all -- {[|]} [FME_GetAttribute
$yourAttr ] {} ]
}
note this about Tcl and FME
1. always put a tcl expresion into a proc
2. use the FME_GetAttribute/FME_SetAttribute to manipulate attributes
rather than parsing in the values as paramters
3. alwasy use Tcl2 rather than TCL
the above notes and exampels will also work with removing commas and " etc.
