String processing

The value resolvers in this category create text as a return value.

• Text is predominantly expected as input value, which is 'processed' by typical operators.

• Some non-text data types (date/date range with time, numeric values) can be converted to formatted text as the return value.

• The Value from localization value resolver has a special position:
  

  • Its main task is to access predefined localizations (see Localization or Company specific localization).

  • The localization texts can also contain placeholders ({0},{1}, ...) for parameter values, which are assigned statically or 'resolved' at runtime.

  • Since placeholders can also be used in the 'default value' specified in the call, the value resolver can also be used without reference to Localization for 'text operations' (e.g. instead of the Concat strings value resolver).

The following value resolvers are included in this group:

• Format date

• Parse date

• Upper case

• Lower case

• Substring

• Split text

• Replace text

• Join string list

• Concat strings

• Trim

• Left trim

• Right trim

• Value from localization

• Format number

►NOTE◄ With Lobster Data Platform / Orchestration version 4.9 some value resolvers (for object/text conversion) formerly assigned to String processing have been merged into a new category Converter (Resolvers).
