Chapter 1 Digit Translations
Digit Manipulation
Dot (.) Character
The dot (.) character is used to indicate string position at which match operation is to be performed. If a
dot character is specified as the first character of the match-string, the digits specified by each dot
character are skipped until a question mark or any digit is encountered.
The dot character can also be used to check the length of the input string (see examples below).
Examples:
Example 1: match-string="...555" indicates that 555 appear in digit position 4-6. This
will match on the following input string: 4695551234.
Example 2: "555...." Indicates that find a match on 555 where there are 4 more digits that
follow 555. This will match any of the following input strings: 4695551234 or 5551234.
Additional examples:
Example 1:
Enter 1 to continue translations 1
Enter input string 4695551234
Match string ...555
Replace string &
MATCHED
Output string = 4695551234
Example 2:
Enter 1 to continue translations 1
Enter input string 4695551234
Match string ..........#CHECK IF INPUT STRING LENGTH=10
Replace string &
MATCHED
Output string = 4695551234
Example 3:
Enter 1 to continue translations 1
Enter input string 14695551234
Match string ..........

Not MATCHED
Output string = 14695551234
