Manipulating strings within an array

Questions & Answers
1

I have a large array of strings and I need to convert each string in the array to lower case. Is there a method to make bulk operations on array elements?

For full context, I am retrieving about 500 ID codes that I want to use to perform a bulk search. The input for the search has to be an array of ID codes and the codes have to be in lowercase. Currently I am retrieving the IDs, performing lower() on them, aggregating them and then converting them to an array with map().

I would be great to aggregate the ID and create an array and then perform an operation on the array that lower cases all the elements.

Welcome to the Make community!

Yes, it’s possible.

If you need further assistance, please provide the following:

1. Scenario blueprint

Please export the scenario blueprint file to allow others to view the mappings and settings. At the bottom of the scenario editor, you can click on the three dots to find the Export Blueprint menu item.

(Note: Exporting your scenario will not include private information or keys to your connections)

Uploading it here will look like this:

2. And most importantly, Input/Output bundles

Please provide the output bundles of the modules (where you are retrieving the IDs) by running the scenario (or get from the scenario History tab), then click the white speech bubble on the top-right of each module and select “Download input/output bundles”.

A.

Save each bundle contents in your text editor as a bundle.txt file, and upload it here into this discussion thread.

Uploading them here will look like this:

B.

If you are unable to upload files on this forum, alternatively you can paste the formatted bundles in this manner:

  • Either add three backticks ``` before and after the code, like this:

    ```
    input/output bundle content goes here
    ```

  • Or use the format code button in the editor:

Providing the input/output bundles will allow others to replicate what is going on in the scenario even if they do not use the external service.

Following these steps will allow others to assist you here. Thanks!
