Bynder Rules

Regex

How to easily extract some information

The main goal of this type of rule is to extract some information. It's really powerful when you have a naming convention.

Bynder Regex rules

Like for other rules, you can put some conditions. And after this you must define:

  • the source field: which metaproperty do you want to analyze?
  • the regular expression: how to analyze the source field?
  • the destination pattern: what do you want to extract?
  • the destination field: where do you want to put your extracted information?

Let's take an example Bynder Regex rules configuration

In this example, we apply the rule if the asset:

  • has a name
  • is from the source "titelive"

As our naming convention is defined with:

  • name begins with the sku
  • name finishes with the position

We define a rule :

"/(?<sku>.^-*)-.*-(?<position>.*)/"

You can find more information or ways to test your regular expression for example on the website : regular expressions 101

We keep only the "sku" part and we put this dynamic value.

%%sku%%

If we don't put the "%%" before and after the code, it will be a static value. another example can be:

%%sku%%_%%position%%

Here we concatenate the "sku" and the "position" with an underscore.

In our example, the result of the pattern is sent to the "sku" metaproperty in Bynder.
