Workflow How To Laserfiche Cloud

Hello All, I've spent a good few hours trying to figure out how to convert a windows file path to search for \ and replace with /. We need to build a path that is suitable for unix and the slash must be switched from \ to /. There is an entry in answers on how to accomplish this, but it's not well named and lacks a screen shot.

For the sake of anyone else who walks this path, here is a screen shot and a link to the original post that gave the solution. https://answers.laserfiche.com/questions/127477/Split-value-in-Workflow

You can use SUBSTITUTE in the Token Calculator to accomplish this

SUBSTITUTE( %(ForEachValue_Current Value),"\" , "/")

This:

\1034 Administrative Policy\All Policies\Acceptable Request Guideline Policy

Becomes this:

/1034 Administrative Policy/All Policies/Acceptable Request Guideline Policy

@████████, i was so deflated when i read your post because i looked everywhere for a function like this. The substitute function is not in the LF Cloud token editor. Is this am on prem difference?

Hi Sean, the Token Editor and Token Calculator are 2 separate things. The Token Calculator is a standalone workflow Activity (), where the Token Editor is a Token function used to format a token. In the example below, I am using the Token Calculator Activity from the Workflow Toolbox. It is the same in both Cloud and OnPrem.
