Use the Character Mapper component to replace characters or strings in the input record. The mapping of the replacement will be applied to all or selected attributes, and mapping definitions can be saved into files.

Add the component to the project and connect the ports of the component to adjacent components.
Open the Mapping window by clicking Mapping in the Properties section.
Enter at least one mapping.

Click Add Line in the toolbar.
Enter a character or string in the From columns.
Enter a character or string in the To column. If you do not enter a value, the From value will be effectively removed without any replacement.
To delete a character mapping, select the line and click the Remove Line button.
To save the current mapping to a file, click the Save File button.
