Hello,
I am wanting to use the #fileDescription to name procedures in my MVC template; however, I need the ability to "scan" and "replace" unnecessary characters. Is there a way to do this that I am not aware of currently?
For example, our file description looks like this: SO-Shipments-Header Level Tax Info
I want to squeeze out the hyphens and spaces.
Thanks,
Sheri McPherson

Yes, there is a relatively new template directive, #eval, which allows you to use javascript in the pre-processing phase. So if you were to use the JavaScript replace function, then you can remove spaces and dashes with this:
Then the resulting file description would be: SOShipmentsHeaderLevelTaxInfo
The form of replace above uses a Regular Expression with the "global" flag, to match and replace all instances of either "-" or " ". #eval came out with Profound UI version 5.7.0.
Code: Select all
#eval("#fileDescription".replace(/[- ]/g,""))
