Voyager Gobal Data Change replace part of a string

Question

Can I change part of a string in a field using the Replace String With String consequence in Global Data Change (GDC)?

Answer

Yes.  This consequence will replace a specific string that is inside a larger string.  For example if you want to change a string like this:

(upgd41)omn26633970 

To a string like this:

(OCoLC)26633970 

You can use these parameters in your GDC Rule Consequence Template:

Replace string: (upgd41)ocm
With string: (OCoLC)

Additional Information

The "Replace String With String" consequence matches on an exact match.
