Concurrent execution...?

Hi everyone I'm trying to squeeze as much performance as possible out of a flow containing multiple copies of a script element that is set to concurrent usage. In previous versions of Switch running an Unlimited Performance Module, I was able to spawn dozens of instances of a script set for concurre...

Thanks for the reply and suggestions.

I'm exploring other options with the customer how to best handle this...hopefully we'll get that feature sometime in the not-to-distant future.

Thanks again.

Create/modify CDATA section in XML files...?

I'm able to retrieve the CDATA contents and modify the string data using string.replace, but I don't see any way to create and/or replace the CDATA elements ...

Re: Filter XML node by type then use IF THEN

Hi Andrew

Yes, you can do all this with scripting. You'll just need the right XPath syntax to identify your target Extrinsic node.

Re: xls to csv script

Just as an option I am successfully using a command line tool called xlsx2csv to perform these types of conversions in Switch.

Just Google xlsx2csv.

Hope this helps.

Re: Help with RegEx

Actually, this is what you need to use in Switch:

[^A-Z-]+[^a-z-]?[a-z-](?=[0-9]{6}).*

Positive look behinds are a no-go as well as negative ones.

I hope this helps.

Hello I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to pipe commands from one command line tool to another using either the Execute command element or (preferably) the process.execute function in the scripting API. Has anyone been successful in doing this within the scripting API? When I try to pipe a command, ...

Re: Help with RegEx

Hi

This works for me, using a fixed length positive look-behind:

(?<=[A-Z]{7}-[a-z]{5}-).*$

Anyone have the correct syntax to remove a directory…?

Hi Dwight Thanks for the response and I can report your 2nd option works. I had declared the variableName in the exact same way as your syntax outside the if/else block that does the removal, but setting it inside the conditional block with your syntax sorted it out. Thanks again. William Buckingham

How to use s.sleep in a loop...

Hi everyone Can anyone out there advise how I can correctly use the s.sleep function to delay each iteration of a loop that sends a sorted list of files from an array to a single path? I'm not having any luck at all using it inside the loop. Does it perhaps need to be positioned outside the loop? An...
