Determine a certain string value within a property
Hi everybody,
i guess i need some Support in case of ignorance
There is a property which could have different string values. So I want to check this property if it contains the string value "prof" or "des"! If this is the case the property should be rewritten with "prof" or "des".
Example:
Property Value origin :"Major Srgt PD Professor med"
Property new Value: "Prof."
I checked the Expression builder and the String(Pega-Rules) library. I found a function called "contains" which returns only true and false. Is there a possibility to check the string and change the value within one function?
Thank you and best regards

Expression is not Valid. Error Messages are shown below.
Invalid expression or reference: line 1:11 missing '(' at '.'
@if(@String.contains(Param.Test,"Prof"),"Prof",Param.Test)

line 1:31 extraneous input ',' expecting {'-=', '*', '-', '<', '!=', '<=', '?', '~=', '+=', '^=', '%', '*=', ')', '.', '+', '<>', '=', '&&', '||', '>', '%=', '/=', '==', '/', '>='}

Hi Norman,
Which versions of PRPC are you using?.
Thanks,

PRPC 7.1.7
following could work:
@if(@contains("Prof", Param.Test), "Prof", "")
but if i try to use an @or Expression like this:
@or(@if(@contains("Prof", Param.Test), "Prof", ""),@if(@contains("Dr", Param.Test), "Dr", ""))
i thought it could easily work but this Expression is not valid too:
Invalid expression or reference: Error: The operands for the @and/@or function should be of type boolean

Hi Norman,
Could you try the following? :
- @contains(Param.Value1, "Prof")?"Prof":Param.Value1
In case, the string contains the required value, it would assign that value to the Property, otherwise the initial value will be retained.

Hi Norman,
This expression @or(@if(@contains("Prof", Param.Test), "Prof", ""),@if(@contains("Dr", Param.Test), "Dr", "")) will not work, because the "if" function does not return Boolean values here.
I would suggest you to use Decision table and use Property-Map-DecisionTable method in activity to get the expected results.
Let me know if this helps?

Hi Norman,
Can you check if this is of any help to you
@if(@(Pega-RULES:String).contains(Param.InputString,"Prof"),"Prof",@if(@(Pega-RULES:String).contains(Param.InputString,"Dr"),"Dr",Param.InputString))

hi everybody,
i kept it quite simple like this:
@if(@contains(NBAACustomerRef.Customer.AKADGRAD,"Prof"), "Prof.", @if(@contains(NBAACustomerRef.Customer.AKADGRAD,"Dr"), "Dr.", @if(@contains(NBAACustomerRef.Customer.AKADGRAD,"Dres"), "Dres.", "")))
I think that should match!
Thanks
Hi Norman,
Will the following expression helps @if(@String.contains(Param.Test,"Prof"),"Prof",Param.Test)
Here Param.Test is the property which holds the value.
Please let me know if this helps?.
Thanks,
