Need help in UDF

Question

Hello Gurus,
Could you please help me if v need any UDF for splitting or can i do it with graphical mapping.
Below is the source structure
<header>id123</header>  
<item>item123</item>         
<data>abd1232011
^^efg4562011
^^hij7892012</data>
Required target structure
<header>id123</header>       1:1
<item>item123</item>             1:1
<content>                               1:1          
<data>                                    1:unbounded
    <char>abd</char>
    <num>123</num>
    <date>2011</date>
</data>
my requirement is to break the 1 source field "data" into  3 target fields "char","num","date". Field data is of type string and received as a raw string. The new line is determined by "^^" in the string. fields are separated by "~"
Kindly help
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

which version of PI u r working on??
In case ur version is PI7.1 (or greater) then chk this code:
UDF1:
Input will be: var1 of type argument
and add 3 result type with name result1, result2, result3
Execution type: all values of a context
String [] temp = var1[0].split("^^");
for(int i=0;i<temp.length;i++)
String [] split1 = temp<i>.split("~");
result1.addValue(split1[0]);
result2.addValue(split1[1]);
result3.addValue(split1[2]);
result1.addContextChange();
result2.addContextChange();
result3.addContextChange();
UDF2:
String [] temp = var1[0].split("^^");
for(int i=0;i<temp.length;i++)
result.addValue("");
mapping:
Input----UDF2---data
                       -----char
Input----UDF1 -------num
                    -------date
