Character stripping from email/file properties

OnePlace Solutions can be configured to strips out specific characters from email or file properties and replace them with an underscore.To provide a custom set of rules to define which characters get stripped you can provide your own regular expression (regex)  statement.

The <filePropertiesIllegalCharactersRegEx> tag must be inserted within opening and closing <sendToHandler> tags. You must also insert a & <![CDATA[[u0026]]]> which is a regular expression (U00226 = ampersand - &)

Replace "u0026" with your own regex statement, characters matching the regex statement will be stripped.  

Example: prevent ampersand from being stripped. 

Copy Code

<configuration>
    <sendToHandler>
        <filePropertiesIllegalCharactersRegEx action="delete"/>
        <filePropertiesIllegalCharactersRegEx action="insert">
        <![CDATA[ [U0026] ]]>
        </filePropertiesIllegalCharactersRegEx>
    </sendToHandler>
</configuration>

Example: Disable the Custom Character Stripping (reverts to default)   

Copy Code

<configuration>
    <sendToHandler>
        <filePropertiesIllegalCharactersRegEx action="delete"/>
    </sendToHandler>
</configuration>

 

Illegal character stripping from filenames

By default illegal characters are stripped of the email  when creating the filename or an attachment and replaces them with an underscore. To provide a custom set of rules to define which characters get stripped you can provide your own regular expression (regex) statement.

The<filenameIllegalCharactersRegEx> tag must be inserted within opening and closing <outlook> tags. You must also insert a <![CDATA[[^a-zA-Z0-9\x0020\u0026]]]> which is a regular expression. Replace " ^a-zA-Z0-9\x0020\u0026" with your own regex statement.

Example: prevent stripping of letters, numbers, spaces, and some Norwegian language characters.

Copy Code

<configuration>
<outlook>
<filenameIllegalCharactersRegEx action="delete"/>
<filenameIllegalCharactersRegEx action="insert">
<![CDATA[ [^a-zA-Z0-9\x0020\U0026] ]]>
</filenameIllegalCharactersRegEx>
</outlook>
</configuration> 

 

Example: Disable the Illegal Custom Character Stripping (reverts to default) 

Copy Code

<configuration>
<outlook>
<filenameIllegalCharactersRegEx action="delete"/>
</outlook>
</configuration>
