Transform Variable

With this task you'll be able to apply some basic operations when assigning a value to a variable.

Configuration

• Input Value - The value to transform and assign to the variable.
• Output Variable Name - Specify one variable name, for example: MyVariable. Do not add $(..), as this will not use the variable name, but its value. When you try to set the special variable Build.BuildNumber, the task will detect that and will call the special SetBuildNumber command.

Manipulation

• Search & Replace
• Trim
• Slice
• Substring
• Change case
• Pad

Note Manipulations will be execute din the displayed order. There is no way to change the order.

Transformation

Optionally the value can be transformed (escaped/encoded):

• Method
• Base64
• Uri
• Uri Component
• Slashes
• Direction - Choose whether to encode or decode the value.
• Apply Transformation - Choose whether to apply the transformation before Manipulations or after. generally you'd apply the transformation Before in case you're decoding a value and after if you're encoding.
