Compose Text

This module is used in the template Expose Last Row Comment.
Extract Text
Extracts a particular substring from a given string. Enter the Text from which the Match Test will be extracted.
In the image below, the Extract Text module was set up to reference the text "A piece of text with seven words" in the Text field and "text with" in the Match Text field.
Find Text
Extracts multiple matches and string positions of a substring from a given string. Enter the Text from which the Match Test will be searched/parsed.
The image below shows the result of searching for "text" in the referenced sentence "A piece of text with seven words." The module returns the result as an object for each result; in this case, the word was found once.
For each result, the text's start and end character location is returned as "start" and "finish."

Uppercase
Returns a string in all Uppercase, just enter the Text that should be converted to uppercase.
Replace Text
Performs a search in the Text and replaces the Match Text with the Replace Text.
Size of String
Returns the size in characters of the Text as a number.
Word Count
