RE: [fme] Filtering attributes by the number of characters in a text string

[Rice, Bob]

Good Morning Matt,   This is fairly simple. Use StringLength Calculator to put the length into an attribute, then use a AttributeFilter to separate the features based on the length attribute.   Bob   ----------- L.

I have a code field of random text strings. But each text string has a text length of 3,4,5,6 or 10 characters. Each string length equates to a different grouping I need to filter out. What I need to do is filter out all the records that have a text length of 3, then all the records that have a text length of 4, then all the records that have text length of 5 and so on for 6 and 10. You get the picture. I've tried using a Grepper with no luck. Any help would be appreciated Matt __._,_.___ For insights into what's up at Safe Software and what's on the development horizon, visit Safe's blog at spatial-etl.blogspot.com.
