Thanks for reply Grant,
The example you quote from the help screen does not help. It seems that
it is not possible to escape a "(" with "\(" as the brackets are
interpreted before the escape character or perhaps the escape character
only works with a particular range of characters that does not include
brackets.
However I can achieve the same ends by using StringReplacer with
Text to find = can( and
Replacement text = nothing
I wanted to do multiple replacements wich is why I was trying to use
StringPairReplacer. I can use a chain of StringReplacer's to do the
multiple replacements and can in fact combine them into a custom
transform.
Thanks

Subject: [fme] Help with StringPairReplacer
Hi,
I am having dificulty in deleting a character(s) with
stringpairreplacer. Is this possible?
How can I do the following:
Input string can(this be done output string this
be done
The replacement pair can X will produce X(this be done
But the pair can( X produces an error
Unbalanced parenthesis
I cannot figure how to drop character(s) or escape special
characters eg (
Can anyone give me a clue, please.
Thanks
