Velocity scripting and leading spaces

Identity Security Cloud (ISC) ISC Discussion and Questions

Hi all,
Hoping that someone can find the error in my script that is putting in leading spaces:

Input : 7200001-C;7200002-G;7200003-L
Output : " 7200001;7200002" (3 spaces)
Input : 7200002-C
Output : " 720000" (1 space)

#set($result='')
#set($values=$inputString.split(';'))
#foreach($value in $values)
#if($value.endsWith('-C') || $value.endsWith('-G'))
#set($numberPart=$value.substring(0, 7).trim())
#if($result=='')
#set($result=$numberPart)
#else
#set($result=$result + ';' + $numberPart)
#end
#end
#end
$result.trim()

Where else can I put a ‘trim’ function?
Thanks

Hey Phil,
I don’t know where those spaces are coming from, but I would suggest using the Replace primitive here instead. Some regex to select any non-numeric, non-semicolon characters and replace them with '' should do the trick.

Hi @phil_awlings ,

#set($values = $inputString.split(';'))
#foreach($value in $values)
  #if($value.endsWith('-C') || $value.endsWith('-G'))
    #set($numberPart = $value.substring(0, 7).trim())
    #if($result == '')
      #set($result = $numberPart)
    #else
      #set($result = $result + ';' + $numberPart)
    #end
  #end
#end
#set($result = $result.trim())
$result

could you please try this?

Still 3 leading spaces when applying it the AD attribute ext.att4:

Weirdly, the leading spaces aren’t present on the identity preview…
image
and this is the account CREATE transform, just in case.

        {
            "name": "extensionAttribute4",
            "transform": {
                "type": "identityAttribute",
                "attributes": {
                    "name": "attributeName"
                }
            },
            "attributes": {},
            "isRequired": false,
            "type": "string",
            "isMultiValued": false
        },

EDIT: Tried replacing the final trim with a replaceAll, and I am still getting leading spaces:

...($result = $result.replaceAll(' ',''))$result"

In case , could you please check once if ISC is sending those values with spaces or without spaces in plan?

Solution:
Stuck a ‘trim’ function on the CREATE profile which works:

        {
            "name": "extensionAttribute4",
            "transform": {
                "type": "trim",
                "attributes": {
                    "input": {
                        "type": "static",
                        "attributes": {
                            "value": {
                                "type": "identityAttribute",
                                "attributes": {
                                    "name": "attributeName"
                                }
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            },
            "attributes": {},
            "isRequired": false,
            "type": "string",
            "isMultiValued": false
        }

But doesn’t really explain why it was being sent in the first place.
