Decipher IDP - filter special characters (+,=,#)

ncstephe — Fri, 27 Sep 2024 18:38:29 GMT

Hello -

I am trying to filter out certain characters to prevent them from being exported as they will cause errors in the application being used down the line. I have used the "Exclude Values" column in the DFD as well as the "FilterContent" misc parameter successfully with other characters, but cannot filter out certain special characters (ex. =,+,$). I assume this is because these characters can function as operators but I am not sure.

Is there formula/parameter I can add to omit these characters from the value that is extracted?

Hi @ncstephe ,

Ideally, exclude should work as per you config but if you still get the special Chars then, i would suggest you to have another round of validation in blueprism to remove those unnecessary characters before data entry.

Thanks,

Nandha
