| |Option|Description |
| |Transform name|Name of the transform. |
| |In stream field|Name of the field whose substring to cut. |
| |Out stream field|When a field name is given here, the transform creates a new field with the substring. Otherwise the original field gets replaced by the substring. |
| |Cut from|Designate where to begin cutting the substring. This value is 0-based, thus the first character in a string is 0. |
| |Cut to|Designate where to end cutting the substring. This value is exclusive (1-based), so using a 1 includes the first character. The maximum length of the new string is Cut to minus Cut from. |
| |=== |
| |
| == Metadata Injection Support |
| |
| All fields of this transform support metadata injection. You can use this transform with ETL Metadata Injection to pass metadata to your pipeline at runtime. |
