Data mapper join fields and padding

1

Hi all,

I want datamapper to take the vaules from two field and combine them into one field with padding to one cell, the input file is a .csv and lets call he field IMID and MARK, in short in excel this would be:
=TEXT(IMID,“0000000000”)&MRK

Any tips?

Try this:

("0000000000"+data.extract('IMID',0)).slice(-10)+data.extract('MRK',0);

or even better (didn’t realize padStart() was available):

(data.extract('IMID',0)).padStart(10,"0")+data.extract('MRK',0);

Thanks Phil,

Could not get the padding one to play ball but the 1st one worked like a treat and now I can add and remove data into new fields to my hearts content!
