Expert Contributor

I am using extract text with replace text as below

Original string:

_fwip="abc" new fwip in context as new_fwip="[This is \"new_fwip\""] and other text

extract text properties

abc: (_fwip.*")\]

replace text properties

search value: .*

replace value: ${abc.1}

I am getting the value

_fwip="abc" new fwip in context as new_fwip="[This is "new_fwip""

In the replaced text I am missing \.

Can you please help me to understand why I am missing \

Thanks for your help

I have tried with same configurations as you mentioned in the question in extract text and in replace text processors, The output flowfile contents from replace text processor resulting with \ in it.

Output:-

50381-output.png

Here is my configurations:-

Extract Text:-

50382-extracttext.png

Output from extract text processor:-

50383-extracttext-output.png

abc attribute value having \ in it

Replace Text:-

As Regex Replace as Replacement Strategy

50384-replacetext.png

(Or)

Replacement Strategy as Always Replace

50385-replacetext.png

Output:-

Both of these Replacement strategies are resulting same output that i mentioned as first screenshot.

Once check the attribute abc value after Extract Text processor having \ in it or not.

If you still having issue then share your flow and configs of the processors please..
