Spectre Flow Chop Process Object

The Spectre Flow Chop Process object takes an input flow and chops a single column into tokens based on a set of delimiters, returning tokens in separate rows.

The Chop Process object list can be used to parse a sentence into words, or a comma-separated list into individual elements.

TIP: If you need to keep your input column intact for later processing, it is a good idea to create a copy of the column with another name and use that new column as the chop column.

The Chop Process object has three sections in the properties panel where you set attributes.

Spectre Flow Calc Process Node Properties

You set attributes for the Chop Process object in the Closedobject attributes section.

Attribute Description
Output Column Specifies a new column to hold the chopped values. For information about the flow script tag, see output-column.
Delimiter Specifies the delimiter character, with the following available values: tab, comma, semicolon, space, pipe. For information about the flow script tag, see delimiter.
No Trim If true, white space is preserved in parsed values. For information about the flow script tag, see no-trim.
No Quotes If true, double-quotes are preserved in parsed values. For information about the flow script tag, see no-quotes.

Each object has an area where you can enter comments. It is DI best practice to enter a note for every object in a Spectre Flow script.

Every Spectre Flow node comment area is Markdown-enabled. For more information, see Workbench Markdown Editor.

The Chop Process object Closedcolumn grid section lists the columns from the data flow and is where chop columns are selected.
