Replace part of string with another value in Domo Cards

Akhil

I have a data set showing some page names and paths of my website, a part of which has to replace with another in the domo card.

Can it be done using beast mode, using any functionality similar to 'Replace' in mysql.

 

Example:

Original Value: 'Site1::LandingPage > Site1::My Cart > Site2:Checkout Initiate:Checkout'

Required value: 'Landing Page > My Cart > Checkout'

 

Thus, 'Site1::LandingPage has to be replaced with 'Landing Page' , 'Site1::My Cart' is to be replaced with 'My Cart' and so on.

 

Any insights would be helpful.

Yes you can write a beastmode using Replace() , hopefully your values to remove are consistent.

you will need to replace within replace meaning one value at a time to replace all occurrences

 

for example start replacing the 1s , then a replace of 2s within the prior replace

here it is the code for your example , notice the last line is the actual beastmode to use

 

--  REPLACE(`String to replace`, 1, '')    Replacing the number 1

--  REPLACE(REPLACE(`String to replace`, 1, ''), 2, '')    Replacing the number 2

--  REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(`String to replace`, 1, ''), 2, ''), 'Site', '')   Replacing the 'Site' values 

--  REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(`String to replace`, 1, ''), 2, ''), 'Site', ''), ':', '') Replacing the ':' Values 

REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(`String to replace`, 1, ''), 2, ''), 'Site', ''), ':', ''), 'Checkout Initiate', '')

@Godiepi provided you with the beastmode and will work if all of the replacement values are consistent and limited.  If the Sites are dynamically named or many then I would recommend a mysql dataflow with the sql below.  I put your string in a table named data and named the column col_1 to keep the example shorter.
