SharePoint Designer -- Replace function

Question

Hi,

I am creating a workflow in SPD, and I am going to concat and replace a variable, I wonder if those functions exists and how can that be done. e.g I want to change

http://<server>/OldPage.aspx?ID=1234

to

http://<server>/newPage.aspx?ID=1234&Type=5

Thanks in advance.

See if the section Build the URL string and store it in local variables helps you from this link -

Thanks for your suggestion. That helps me regarding the concat. However, I am using this variable [%Current Task:Form_URN%] and I have no idea what will be in it, there are a few things that I am sure, and they are the things that I want to replace. e.g the aspx.

Replacing from "WrkTaskIP.aspx" with "listform.aspx"

And that's why I would like to know if there is a replace function or something similar.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 3

Quick question - Is this part of some list? If it is can you create a calculated column on the list to do your replacement through formula?

Thanks for the tips, it actually from a list, but that is a good start, I may need to build it myself.
