Hi,

Looking for a way to use the Conditional node to change the course of a workflow based on metadata in the XML it has just read.

The %s_xml_advertiser% field will either start with the characters CP or CB - I'm unsure what to put in the right-hand field for the node to either accept or reject and thus change the path the file is then sent down.

So if it starts with CP or CB is fine?

Step 1:
Read the XML

Code: Select all

%s_myxmlfile% = $read("%s_original_path%\%s_original_name%.xml")

Step 2:
Read the advertiser value and save it in your variable "xml_advertiser"

Code: Select all

%s_xml_advertiser% = $stripws($between("%s_myxmlfile%", "<Advertiser>", "</Advertiser>"))

Step 3:
Check if it starts with CP or CB

Code: Select all

if %s_xml_advertiser% == CP* || if %s_xml_advertiser% == CP* Then
do something
else 
do something else

The whole workflow would be something like:

Hi ,

Here is my method, I prefer to use regex to retrieve what you want.

: advertiser.jpg (75.24 KiB) Viewed 3339 times

Your variable %s_xml_advertiser% will be "CP" or "CB", just place a conditonal after the previous populate node

: cond.jpg (46.97 KiB) Viewed 3339 times

So, if "yes" -> CP
If "no" -> CB

Hope it helps.
B.
