Find text  "ABC" replace with "XYZ"

 

Actions as  "Input Data (csv) --> FindReplace --> Output Data" workflow.

 

 

Thanks,

Hi @kpsrawat 

 

Here is replace function which you can leverage through formula tool.

 

If you have more scenarios find and replace scenarios use find and replace tool

Hi @atcodedog05  / @PhilipMannering 

 

Need some clarity with respect to usage of FindReplace component 

 

In the workflow xml I can see TextInput component, Plugin="AlteryxBasePluginsGui.TextInput.TextInput"

 

Can you please confirm if this component is mandatory to use with FindReplace component ? 

 

Thanks,

Kunwar

Hi @atcodedog05 

 

Not an issue 😶

 

Can you share with me a simple job flow output xml file like below 

 

Input Flat File -----> Find Replace -----> Output Flat File

Hi @PhilipMannering 

 

The solution provided is correct as per the request. 

Need clarity as in one solution formula component is used where as in other Text Input component is used. So, I am looking for a simple basic workflow without using any addon's 

 

Input File ---> Find Replace ---> Output File 

 

So, that its easy for me to understand the XML behind FindReplace tool and start the implementation and later addup the addon features 

 

Thanks,

Kunwar
