String Concatenation and Extraction

  • Last update: June 06, 2025
  • Overview

    Data extraction and merging play an essential role in data processing.

    Fields structured as strings connected by separators need to be split to be extracted at a specified position or split into multiple columns for use.

    FineDataLink supports data extraction, splitting, and concatenation in the New Calculation Column operator.
