String manipulation in Studio

[Alfiegerner]

Hi,

I'm new to studio and don't really know if this is outside of its remit or not. I want to remove all instances of a pariticular character in a string.

Specifically I want the imdb lookup in SageMC to remove all stars from the Airing title.

At the moment it does this:

AddStaticContext("SearchString", GetAiringTitle(Airing))

whereas I'd want it to do something like:

AddStaticContext("SearchString", str_replace("*", "", GetAiringTitle(Airing)))

Is this possible?

Not sure if the escape character for the "*" is correct (the second parameter in 'replaceAll' is a regular expression so the "*" has a special meaning), but you could try

AddStaticContext("SearchString", java_lang_String_replaceAll(GetAiringTitle(Airing), "\*", ""))

And, I think you're going to have to use "\\*".

Thanks guys, much appreciated - the second slash was needed btw.
