String Format Manager

This node attaches formatting information to strings in a table. This does not change the data, only the way the strings in the selected columns are displayed in views, e.g., the Table View.

Options

Columns to format

Select the columns to attach the selected format to. This does not change the data, but only the way the strings are being displayed in views.

Show first characters

Select the number of characters that should be retained at the start of the string. If a string's length is longer than the permitted length, it will be truncated. This does not change the data, but only the way the strings are being displayed in views.

Show last characters

Select the number of characters that should be retained at the end of the string. If a string's length is longer than the permitted length, it will be truncated. This does not change the data, but only the way the strings are being displayed in views.

Wrap lines on demand

Determine how to wrap a string when it is too long to fit the width of the view:

• No: The string isn't wrapped and long strings will overflow the view width.
• Anywhere: The string is wrapped anywhere on demand, also in the middle of a word.
• Between words: The string is wrapped only between words, e.g. at white space.

Show line break and carriage return as symbols

If checked, line break (\n) and carriage return (\r) are displayed as symbols. Enabling this will always show a single-line string unless Wrap lines on demand is enabled.

Show other non-printable characters as symbols

If checked, non-printable symbols like a tabulator or non-break space will be displayed with a placeholder symbol (�). Enable this to make any non-standard control characters in your strings visible.

Show empty string as

Determine how to display empty strings. This does not change the underlying data, but just how an empty string is shown in views.

• Blank: The empty string will be shown as blank, this is the default.
• Custom string: A custom string can be defined that will be shown instead of a blank cell. This might be useful to show some placeholder text or default value.

Substitute for empty string

This string will be shown instead of an empty string, if Show empty string as custom string is enabled.

Link hyperlinks and e-mail addresses

Enabling this will display URLs and e-mail addresses as links.

Alignment suggestion

Specify how to align the string.
