how do I truncate a string to remove everything before the “_” character?
To truncate a string and remove everything before the “" character in a Pipedream workflow, you can use a custom code step. Here’s how you can do it using JavaScript: export default defineComponent({ async run({steps, $}) { const originalString = "example_string_to_truncate"; const truncatedString = originalString.substring(originalString.indexOf("_") + 1); return truncatedString; }, }) This code snippet takes a string (originalString) and uses the substring method along with indexOf to find the position of the "” character. It then creates a new string (truncatedString) that starts from the character immediately after “" to the end of the original string. This effectively removes everything before and including the "” character.
how do I truncate a string to remove everything before the third “/” character?
To truncate a string and remove everything before the third “/” character in a Pipedream workflow, you can use a custom code step. Here’s how you can do it with JavaScript: export default defineComponent({ async run({steps, $}) { const inputString = "your/input/string/with/slashes"; // Split the string by "/" to get an array of segments const segments = inputString.split("/"); // Check if there are at least three slashes if(segments.length < 4) { throw new Error("Input string does not contain at least three slashes."); } // Join the segments from the third slash onwards const result = segments.slice(3).join("/"); return result; }, }) Replace "your/input/string/with/slashes" with the actual string you want to truncate. This code splits the input string into an array of segments divided by “/”, then slices the array from the fourth segment onwards (since array indices start at 0, the fourth segment is at index 3), and finally joins these segments back into a string. If the input string does not contain at least three slashes, an error is thrown.
