Lookup Table

Top  Previous  Next

This feature enables PageGate to perform basic search and replace commands on values in the body of the message, which allows you to interchange or translate values as needed.

 

lookuptable

 

Button

Function

Add

Adds a new search and replace value.

Edit

Edits an existing search and replace value.

Delete

Removes an existing search and replace value.

Cancel

Closes the table without saving changes.

Apply

Applies updates made to the table.

 

When adding new entries to the table, you'll be presented with this dialog:

 

Lookuptableadd

 

Data In

This value represents what you want to search for. Wildcard characters can be used.

 

Data Out

This value represents what you want to replace the text with.

 

For example, if we had a 'Data In' value of oranges and a 'Data Out' value of bananas, the program would replace any instance of the word oranges with the word bananas.

 

To provide a more practical example, let's use the example from the GetASCII - Settings - Message section of the documentation. This is the message being processed:

Type of call

Line2=Address information.

Line3=Cross-street information.

Line4=Dispatcher notes.

 

Assuming that * is your multiple character wildcard, to remove the text Line2=, Line3=, Line4=, etc from the body of the message, you would use the following:

Data In: *Line2=*

Data Out: Leave this field completely empty.

 

Data In: *Line3=*

Data Out: Leave this field completely empty.

 

and so on.
