Orbeon Regex

[Oscar]

All,

I have a field that is being automatically populated that holds the user account. However, the information being sent from the source has the full username in the format: 123...@domain.net as opposed to just the 1234567. 

Would there be a way to leverage regex against the field to truncate the username to only extract the username and drop the @domain.net?

Regards, 

Oscar

Hi,

maybe will be enough to use XPath function substring-before(' 123...@domain.net','@')

Nice list of available functions with examples you can find https://www.w3schools.com/xml/xsl_functions.asp. 

//Jarek

fn:substring-before(string1,string2)

Returns the start of string1 before string2 occurs in it Example: substring-before('12/10','/') Result: '12'

Thank you. I will give this a try

Thanks Jerek. This worked. 

I have setup a hidden field to be the landing spot for the data. Then, I have used the function substring-before($control,'@') in the initial value. 

according to the Orbeon documentation, there is no need to prefix these functions.

Great,

and you don't need to add hidden fields. 

In the initial value combine two functions substring-before(xxf:get-request-header('username'),'@')
