Built-In Computation Functions

Cogynt Authoring has many built-in functions to help develop accurate, sophisticated computations. For more information about adding computation functions to models, see Adding Functions.

This section describes the available functions in detail. The categories and functions within each category are presented in alphabetical order.

The examples for each function use the following notation:

Square brackets ([]) indicate arrays.
Curly braces ({}) indicate groups.
Arrows (==>) separate inputs and outputs. Inputs are shown on the left side of the arrow. Outputs are shown on the right side of the arrow.

The Sub String function returns a substring from an input string, beginning with the submitted starting index and continuing to the specified length.

Usage Information

Category	Details
Number of Arguments	2
Mandatory Argument Names and Datatypes	`arg`: The input string. `start_index`: An integer indicating the position of the starting index in the input string. Scalar Support: True Array Support: True Group of Scalars Support: True Group of Arrays Support: False
Optional Argument Names and Datatypes	`length` (Default: The end of the string.): An integer specifying the length of the substring to return. If null, the default value is used.
Modifiers	N/A
Output Datatype(s)	String

Examples

substring("ABCDEFG",start_index=2,length=3) ==> "CDE"

substring(["ABCDEFG","1234567","!@#$%^&"],start_index=2,length=3) ==> ["CDE","345","#$%"]

substring({"ABCDEFG","1234567","!@#$%^&"},start_index=2) ==> {"CDEFG","34567","#$%^&"}
substring({"ABCDEFG","1234567","!@#$%^&"},start_index={2,3,4},length={1,2,3}) ==> {"CDEFG","4567","%^&"}

Trim

The Trim function removes leading and trailing spaces from the submitted string and returns the resulting string.

Usage Information

Category	Details
Number of Arguments	1
Mandatory Argument Names and Datatypes	`arg`: The string to trim. Scalar Support: True Array Support: True Group of Scalars Support: True Group of Arrays Support: True
Optional Argument Names and Datatypes	N/A
Modifiers	N/A
Output Datatype(s)	String

Examples

trim("  X\n  Y  \nZ  \t") ==> "X\n  Y  \nZ  \t"

trim(["  X\n  Y  \nZ  \t","  space at beginning","space at the end.   "]) ==> ["", "space at beginning", "space at the end."]

trim({"  X\n  Y  \nZ  \t","  space at beginning","space at the end.   "}) ==> {"", "space at beginning", "space at the end."}
trim({[],[],[]}) ==> {[],[],[]}

Upper

The Upper function returns a string where all characters from the input string are converted to uppercase.

Usage Information

Category	Details
Number of Arguments	1
Mandatory Argument Names and Datatypes	`arg`: The string to convert. Scalar Support: True Array Support: True Group of Scalars Support: True Group of Arrays Support: True
Optional Argument Names and Datatypes	N/A
Modifiers	N/A
Output Datatype(s)	String

Examples

upper("abcdefg") ==> "ABCDEFG"
upper(["abc","def","ghi"]) ==> ["ABC","DEF","GHI"]
upper({"abc","def","ghi"}) ==> {"ABC","DEF","GHI"}
upper({["abc","def","ghi"],["abc","def","ghi"],["abc","def","ghi"]}) ==> {["ABC","DEF","GHI"],["ABC","DEF","GHI"],["ABC","DEF","GHI"]}
