Hi all

Using Workflow, I'm trying to substitute all ";;" by ";-;" but my result is strange

When I'm trying the function, the result is not what I want.

Result

This should be "Check ;-; value" and not "Check , , value".

What's wrong?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards

Hi all,

It's ok! I found myself.

I need to add a substitute inside the substitue.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Olivier,

I think it should actually work fine but the test is misinterpreting the semicolons (;) as separators. For me, when I test with type String and check the Exact Input box, this works.

You can be extra sure that it does work by running a test workflow with a hardcoded token and tracking the tokens as they are produced by the substitution in the Token Calculator.

Hi Karina,

Thanks for your help.

You right, it's actually work but not pretty good.

If my variable = "test;;test"

the result is = "test;-;test"

but if my variable = "test;;;test"

the result is = "test;-;;test"

This should be = "test;-;-;test"

That's why I'm trying to test the formula but actually, I can't.
