In the transforms you can use python. See the snippet below I copied from
http://www.python.org/doc/2.5.2/tut/node5.html:
Code:
Strings can be concatenated (glued together) with the + operator, and repeated
with *:
>>> word = 'Help' + 'A'
>>> word
'HelpA'
>>> '<' + word*5 + '>'
'<HelpAHelpAHelpAHelpAHelpA>'
Two string literals next to each other are automatically concatenated; the
first line above could also have been written "word = 'Help' 'A'"; this only
works with two literals, not with arbitrary string expressions:
>>> 'str' 'ing' # <- This is ok
'string'
>>> 'str'.strip() + 'ing' # <- This is ok
'string'
>>> 'str'.strip() 'ing' # <- This is invalid
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
'str'.strip() 'ing'
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Strings can be subscripted (indexed); like in C, the first character of a
string has subscript (index) 0. There is no separate character type; a
character is simply a string of size one. Like in Icon, substrings can be
specified with the slice notation: two indices separated by a colon.
>>> word[4]
'A'
>>> word[0:2]
'He'
>>> word[2:4]
'lp'
Slice indices have useful defaults; an omitted first index defaults to zero, an
omitted second index defaults to the size of the string being sliced.
>>> word[:2] # The first two characters
'He'
>>> word[2:] # Everything except the first two characters
'lpA'
