Easiest way to remove "count" in front of attribute name

Hey @jhiKl,

You can use rename by replacing operator. Let's say this is the input:


The output will be:



The XML code for the same process is:

hello thank you for responding quickly, how do I replace just a part of the column name? I tried rename by replacing operator but it doesn't work

If that part is consistent (For example: count) and does not have any special characters. You can substitute it by using replace what as count and leave replace by blank in the operator. Otherwise you can use regex formatting to replace.

If you can share your XML I quickly try and send you updates process.

I don't know if this is the xml that you need, but hopefully it is. Do you know how to regex the "count(product_name)_" i'm still looking for the regex that shows the "exact match".

@jhiKl this is the regex you need 
Let me explain 

• .* matches all the characters before the (
• \( escapes the "(" you are trying to find
• (\w+) tells that you want to capture all the word characters \w+ until the next rule
• Please notice the difference when you try to find a "(" =\(  from when you are trying to capture something () there is no use of \
• \) tells the regex that it need to stop capturing when it finds a ")"

.*\((\w+)\)

and you need to put on the replace  the$1 makes reference to the capture group 

$1

Hello, I was able to do it thanks to you guys!

Appreciatively,
jhiKl

In case the complete text count(product_name)_ needs to match exact, then regex will be count\(product_name\)_
