xlt_filter

[Mason Miller]

I am using xlt_filter {-37{+ }-t37-c}  This is putting the spaces at the start of the line I want it to put the spaces at the end of the line does anybody have any ideas?

I’m not sure what you want to do, but to put the spaces at the end of the line try this:

xlt_filter {-e-37{+ }}

But I recomend using TCL to do that directly…

if using a tclproc:

set variable “$variable            “

or

append variable $spaces

or

append variable [string repeat ” ” 37]

If in a xlate, enter in the preproc the following line:

set xlateOutVals [append xlateInVals [string repeat ” ” 37]]

but remember that xlateInVals is a list, so to play safe you may want to force the lindex 0.

What I am trying to do is make the a field 37 characters if it is not 37 character then I what to add spaces if it is more than 37 character I want to take off the character at the end of the line.  I am using xlate.

Thanks

Then try in the xlate

set xlateOutVals [string range [append xlateInVals [string repeat ” ” 37]] 0 36]

or

xlt_filter {-e-37{+ }-h-j37-a}

I’m not sure if the -h is necessary, but just in case.

Just curious, I have never seen/used this xlt_filter before, is it a custom tcl?

Is a set of TCL libraries developed by Quovadx. It was done to support the migration from the old Hublink interfaces. I don’t think Quovadx is supporting it any more, but I could be wrong…

That worked great thank you very much.
