Rename Entry help :

Workflow
Updated June 9
asked on June 8

Hi, 


I am stuck with trying to to a simple file rename.

I keep getting an "Invalid Object Name" error

Basically I am reading a PDF, extracting its text and taking out the 5th line which is a name. 

 

Then I am putting that name in a rename task . The name extracts seemingly fine.

 

 

However I do notice the token still contains spaces. When checking after the workflow, and also a second line.

 

 

What am I missing here?

 

Thanks

Hi Shan,

The Remove function is to remove items from a multi-value token, not remove characters in a text. If you want to remove spaces, you can use Pattern Match activity with this option, all spaces and line breaks will be removed:

Hi Zhujie,

 

Thanks for your help I have got a little further. When I use the \S+ it at least brings back "Jane", which the Replace task then seems to accept. I am still missing the last name but I think I have found the problem is that when I reference the retrieve document text index 5, its coming up as a Token with 2 lines, which the Replace task doesn't seem to like.

 

Any idea why it comes back with two lines? when each line should be in its own token?

Did you set it "all matches (combined with no spaces)"?

Oh, I was actually trying to do it through a regular token, thats what I was missing.

 

How would I be able to keep the space between the first and last name?

You may use the Trim function to remove any white spaces before or after the text.
