}bedrock.server.util.string.validate

Description

This process will validate a string pInputString based on rules in pChanges and change or eliminate characters to create a global variable sOutputString that can be used in the source TI.

Note:

• pInputString: This is the input string that needs to be validated based on file system limitations or undesirable 1st characters.
• pUndesirableFileSystem: These are characters considered undesirable (even forbidden) in object/element names due to file system limitations of the operation system.
• pUndesirable1st: These are characters considered undesirable as 1st characters in object/element names due to TM1 limitations.
• pChanges: This string defines the rule of how to change undesirable characters. It can be made up of many definitions delimited by pDelim (e.g. & which is not considered undesirable anywhere). Each definition would contain a character considered undesirable and the desired character separatedby pSeperator (e.g. to change a % to Percentage and " to inches, it would be %,Percentage&",inches if pDelim = & and pSeperator = ,).
• pReplaceIfNotFound: This is a catch all for characters listed in pUndesirableFileSystem or pUndesirable1st that don't have a rule in pChanges.
• pDelim: This is a character that is used to seperate definitions in pChanges.
• pSeperator: This is a character used to seperate the current and desired character within each definition in pChanges.
• pMode: This can be used to limit whether the TI looks at pUndesirableFileSystem or pUndesirable1st without having to delete the characters in those parameters.
