multiple string commands in one line

[Tim Gobbel]

We need to both map a “/” to a “-” and truncate a field to 10 characters.  We have the two string commands to do this (map and range) but were wondering if these can be combined in one line for a pre proc in an xlate using the xlateInVals.  Thanx!

Please post your current code and some sample data.

Try the following:

set var [lindex $xlateInVals 0]

set xlateOutVals [string range [string map “/ -” $var] 0 9]

I haven’t tested it so you may need to try this for the xlateOutVals

set xlateOutVals

0 9]]

Example from hcitcl:

hcitcl>set var “MED/OB OUTPATIENT”

MED/OB OUTPATIENT

hcitcl>string range [string map “/ -” $var] 0 9

MED-OB OUT

Hope this helps…

Thanx!  We will put this in the preproc and test.  We will post the results.  Thanx!

We put in:

set var [lindex $xlateInVals 0]

set xlateOutVals

0 9]]

and it is working to exchange the “/” and truncate the field to 10.

Thanx!
