Is possible to have OR logic in a text replace step?

Help

Brand new user of Pipedream. I’m putting together a workflow and one of the steps is to replace certain numbers with corresponding group names. For example, if the value found is 12345 it will be replaced with IT Group. I have that working.

But there’s multiple numbers that are associated with only one Group. For example: 12345, 12346, 12347, 12348 when found ALL need to be changed to IT Group.

Right now it looks like I have to set up 4 find / replace text steps to cover all four of those numbers. Is there any way in Pipedream to have it look for 12345, and if it’s not there, then look for 12346, and so on?

I hope that makes sense, thanks!

Hi @rkramer,

To handle multiple numbers and replace them with a single group name in a more efficient way, you can use a single code step in Pipedream that checks for all these numbers and replaces them with the corresponding group name. Here’s an example of how you could do this in a Node.js code step:

export default defineComponent({
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    // Define your mapping of numbers to group names
    const groupMapping = {
      "12345": "IT Group",
      "12346": "IT Group",
      "12347": "IT Group",
      "12348": "IT Group",
      // Add more mappings as needed
    };

    // Sample input number
    let inputNumber = "12347"; // Replace this with the actual input

    // Find the group name for the input number, or use the input number if not found
    let groupName = groupMapping[inputNumber] || inputNumber;

    // Return the group name
    return groupName;
  },
});

This code defines a mapping of numbers to group names and then looks up the input number in this mapping to find the corresponding group name. If the input number is not found in the mapping, it simply returns the input number. You can replace the inputNumber variable with the actual input from a previous step in your workflow.

This way, you only need one code step to handle all the number-to-group mappings, and you can easily add more mappings to the groupMapping object as needed.
