I am filtering data by a particular field that has different lengths:

 

VEsWRQ00cnvTZse4la0NYDzNrE=

M5wF51TW5UPOScmJWbqYpjVRAxw=

ElJzKc+9dh66LUctt8Sdpr53CMI=

 

 

and then every so many lines I receive data in error that looks like this:

 

1397=

 

 

Is there a way to remove the entire line of data when this particular field has only 5 characters?

 

Thank you,

Hi @bh1789 

 

Can you provide an example of what the output would look like?

 

I have provided a sample WF that accomplishes this based on character length in a column.

You can use Length(String) != 5 to filter out all the lines that do not have a length of 5.
