Data360 Analyze

Hello, how do i handle characters like Å Ä Ö in Data 360?

In my example i am creating them in a transform node:

Configure fields:

out1.A = str

ProcessRecords:

If condition 1:

     out1.A = ' Väster'

I get the result  "Väster"

For out1.A = "Öster" i get Öster

I have tried making the data type unicode but same result

There are two issues.

The first is that Python 2 requires you to create a unicode string explicitly. This can be achieved by prefixing the string value with u e.g. u'Väster'  

The second is that you cannot use a 'str' type field to store a unicode value - a 'str' type field can only store ASCII values. We recommend you define text fields as 'unicode' type unless there is a specific reason for using the 'str' type field.

You can also create a unicode string using the unicode() constructor, e.g.   value2 = unicode("Öster","utf-8")
