Concat Post-processing function can be used in agents to concatenate fields or custom text into a field. This function can be used in existing field or we can create a new field as well. For example, I have this scraping agent “Concat Function Example (Post-Processing)” in my account with 5 fields (Url, Name, Brand, Color, Price) and I want to make a new field Title by combining these fields in same row and also some custom text in middle. So, I can use the Concat Post-processing to do this automatically, for each row in my scraping agent.
Before
Steps
-
Edit the scraping agent by clicking on the Edit tab
-
Add a new field, name it Title
-
Select Type as an Input from dropdown
-
Click on the Add post-processing button to add the
Concatfunction, the below dialog box will appear -
Now, enter the Fields name (comma separated) or custom text(in single quote) you want to show in the Title field in each row. I am using format as
(Name,"Available in",Color," At ",Price,"By",Brand)in my example above -
Then Save the function and the scraping agent configuration
-
And finally, re-run you agent to apply the function in your result.
After Concat Function
If you notice the screenshot below, the Title field is updated by the Concat function.
