Validation of data posted

[ASandu1637236092]

Hello,

I am working with Talend I have received the task to make a route

This route should take data from an api and put the result on a queue .

I have issues with the request to have 2 validations of data posted on api

• one of them is to have only digits and commas in string posted and
• the second is to have at most 200 numbers (ex: 123,34,35,780,01, ..... to have no more than 200 numbers between commas

A collegue suggest to use regular expresions and I found this expresion ^[0-9]+(,[0-9]+)*$ for doing the first demand but I do not know how to use it in my route .

I use cREST and I do not know where to put this expresion for doing validation.

Can you help me?

Thanks,

Aurel

If you want to carry out complicated manipulations of data inside a Route, you can make use of a Talend Job with a cTalendJob component. This will allow you to build a Talend Job and have it used inside the Route. This documentation talks you through a basic example....

Hi, As said before the job is the easiest way to manipulate data. If you want to do it inside the route, you can filter message inside a route with "cMessageFilter". So if you message must only have comma and number, you could use Simple language to do it inside the component cMessageFilter. It will be something like "${in.body} !regex [^\d,]" if it matches it means that you don't have something else than number and comma. I didn't test the solution, it's just an insight.

For the second maybe trying a split and count in simple ? And then do on it a less than ?

You have all the documentation for simple languages here :

And here how cMessageFilter works :

Have a nice day and good luck ,
