String formulas

In Ruby, strings refer to sequences of text and characters.

Workato supports a variety of string formulas. Formulas in Workato are allowlisted Ruby methods, and therefore not all Ruby methods are supported. You can always reach out to us to add additional formulas to the allowlist. Syntax and functionality for these formulas are generally unchanged. Most formulas return an error and stop the job if the formula operates on nulls (expressed as nil in Ruby), except for present?, presence and blank?.

Refer to the complete Ruby documentation for strings (opens new window) for more information.

The following examples show methods that can be used to manipulate a string in Workato.

---

Conditionals

This section will cover formulas which allow you to apply conditions (if-else) to your strings. Find out more about how to use conditionals here.

---

blank?

This formula checks the input string and returns true if it is an empty string or if it is null.

Syntax

Input.blank?

• Input - An input datapill. It can be a string, number, date, or datetime datatype.

Sample usage

Formula	Result
"Any Value".blank?	false
123.blank?	false
0.blank?	false
"".blank?	true

How it works

If the input is null or an empty string, the formula will return true. For any other data, it returns false.

See also

• presence: Returns the data if it exists, returns nil if it does not.
• present?: Returns true if there is a valid input.

---

is_not_true?

Evaluates a boolean value and returns true if the evaluated value is not true.

Syntax

Input.is_not_true?

• Input - An input boolean, an integer (1 or 0), or an accepted string value.

Sample usage

Formula	Result
true.is_not_true?	false
false.is_not_true?	true
0.is_not_true?	true
nil.is_not_true?	true

How it works

Takes in an input and evaluates if it is true or false.

String values

"true", "t", "yes","y", and "1" are evaluated as a boolean true.

"false", "f", "no","n", and "0" are evaluated as a boolean false.

However, an empty string ("") is not evaluated as a boolean. This formula will display an error if used on a string datatype.

See also

• is_true: Evaluates a boolean value and returns true if the evaluated value is true.

---

is_true?

Evaluates a boolean value and returns true if the evaluated value is true.

Syntax

Input.is_true?

• Input - An input boolean, an integer (1 or 0), or an accepted string value.

Sample usage

Formula	Result
true.is_true?	true
false.is_true?	false
0.is_true?	false
nil.is_true?	false

How it works

Takes in an input and evaluates if it is true or false.

String values

"true", "t", "yes","y", and "1" are evaluated as a boolean true.

"false", "f", "no","n", and "0" are evaluated as a boolean false.

However, an empty string ("") is not evaluated as a boolean. This formula will display an error if used on a string datatype.

See also

• is_not_true: Evaluates a boolean value and returns true if the evaluated value is not true.

---

present?

This formula will check the input and if there is a value present, it will return true. If the input is nil, boolean false, an empty string, or an empty list, the formula will return false.

Syntax

Input.present?

• Input - An input datapill. It can be a string, number, date, or list datatype.

Sample usage

Formula	Result
"Any Value".present?	true
123.present?	true
0.present?	true
"2017-04-02T12:30:00.000000-07:00".present?	true
nil.present?	false
"".present?	false
[].present?	false

How it works

If the input is null, an empty string or an empty list, the formula will return false. For any other data, it returns true.

Evaluating a list with nil values

• Only an empty list will return false.

[].present? returns false.

• A list with nil and empty string will return true.

[nil,""].present? returns true.

See also

• presence: Returns the data if it exists, returns nil if it does not.
• blank?: Returns nil if the data does not exist or if the string consist of only white spaces.

---

presence

Returns the data if it exists, returns nil if it does not.

Syntax

Input.presence

• Input - An input datapill. It can be a string, number, date, or datetime datatype.

Sample usage

Formula	Result
nil.presence	nil
"".presence	nil
"Any Value".presence	"Any Value"
45.0.presence	45.0
0.presence	0

How it works

If the input is null or an empty string, the formula will return nil. For any other data, it returns the original input data.

See also

• blank?: Returns nil if the data does not exist or if the string consist of only white spaces.
• present?: Returns true if there is a valid input.

---

include?

How it works

This formula is similar to find and replace. It takes two input parameters:

• First input: The string that you plan to replace. The input is case-sensitive, so make sure to input uppercase or lowercase correctly to find all occurrences that are an exact match.
• Second input: The new string that replaces all occurrences of the first input.

See also

• sub: Replaces the first occurrence of a search term.

---

• find - The string or regular expression (regex) to look for. Use a /pattern/ syntax for regex.
• replace - The replacement string. You can define the replacement using a string or hash.

Sample usage

Formula	Result
"Mean Marie".sub(/M/, "J")	"Jean Marie"
"Hello".sub(/[aeiou]/, "*")	"H*llo"

"Jean Marie".slice(5)	"M"
"Jean Marie".slice(3,3)	"n M"
"Jean Marie".slice(-5,5)	"Marie"

How it works

The formula returns a partial segment of a string. It takes in two parameters - the first parameter is the index that decides which part of the string to start returning from. The first letter of a string corresponds to an index of 0. Negative numbers start from the last character, so an index of -1 is the last character in the string. The second parameter decides how many characters to return. If you only pass in the first parameter, one character is returned.

---

"01/23/2014".split("/").join("-")	"01-23-2014"

How it works

This formula looks for the specified character in the input string. Every time it is found, the input will be split into a new string.

Split characters

You can use a string of characters together as the split argument (for example, "and").

"You and Me".split("and") returns ["You","Me"].
