Text Manipulation
The Text Manipulation Function offers a variety of ways that the values of tags can be manipulated. Choose which tag you would like to manipulate, then select one of the actions below.
Action - Which operation to perform on a given tag.
- Insert Text At Beginning - This allows you to insert your own text at the beginning of the selected tag.
- Insert Text At End - This allows you to insert your own text at the end of the selected tag.
- Insert Text At Position - This allows you to insert your own text at any given character position in the selected tag.
- Remove Text At Beginning - Removes specific text, but only if it occurs at the beginning of a tag's value.
- Remove Text At End - Removes specific text, but only if it occurs at the end of a tag's value.
- Remove Text - Removes specific specific text from anywhere in the tag's value. For example, you could remove all instances of the word "the".
- Remove n Characters From Beginning - Removes a given number of characters from the beginning.
- Remove n Characters From End - Removes a given number of characters from the end.
- Remove Characters In Range - Removes all of the characters within a given range. For example, you could choose to delete everything from character 4 through character 8.
- Convert To UPPERCASE - This will convert every character in the selected tag to uppercase.
- Convert To lowercase - This will convert every character in the selected tag to lowercase.
- Convert To Title Case - This will convert every character in the selected tag to title case. Words like 'a', 'an', and 'the' are not capitalized. The list of "small words" that do not get capitalized comes from the New York Times Manual of Style.
- Convert To Sentence case - This will capitalize only the first word of every sentence.
- Capitalize Each Word - This capitalized each word, including "small words" like 'a', 'an', and 'the'.
- Replace Text - Finds and replaced texts. This action also supports using regular expressions. I would recommend seeing http://www.regular-expressions.info/ for more information about regular expressions.
