JavaFormat/RegEx to add leading zeros to string?

smodarressiyazdi

I want to create a derived field of the Employee ID that is alpha and use JavaFormat/a RegEx to add leading zeros to the ID.

Has anyone had any luck with this?

You can try the following code snippet.

Employee using "%013d"

You can use the Type Operator using to format your data.

 using <JavaFormat>

 A JavaFormat can be a Literal or a <RelatedValue>. It must resolve to a JavaFormat as defined here: Formatter (Java Platform SE 7 ) (oracle.com)
