change filename

[shifting_18]

HI!!!
Can I make my filename look like this?

"adt-ao1.ao1" or something descriptive like that? I used ${message.type} for the filename but it gives me "result.file" Is there a way to do this in javasript or in any ways possible? thanks guys! any suggestions will help

Re:change filename

You can crete a variable using a JS step.
Then, you can use the variable as the name of the file.

Re:change filename

hi!
If I use a javascipt, does it require me to use reference functions like
channelMap.put(key,''). I can't understand the parameters here.. Can u please explain?

I'm only used to creating variables in the mapper. However, I can't undesrtand the syntax for the "Default Value, Regex, Replace With" ..

Thank u albert!!!

Re:change filename

Using the mapper is the same than using the funcion channelMap.put(key,data).

To use this function

key--> The name of the variable. This should be a string like 'myNewVariable'
data--> The data to put into the variable.

Ex:
channelMap.put('msh10',msg`['MSH'][MSH.10]);

is the same than create a mapper step with name 'msh10' and the msh.10 field of the input message.

Default value is the value if the map has no value. Regexp is for regular expressions... Google it.

Re:change filename

Now I understand the parameteres, THanks to you!
Does the default value and the Replace with requires me to use " ". I tried that before but it didn't work..
