My goodness. You would think this would be easy. Searched WmPublic and PSUtilities and found nothing. Googled and didn't find much either. So I created a java service sortStringList of my own.
Inputs:
inList - StringList
ascending - boolean
Outputs:
sortedList - StringList
public static final void sortStringList(IData pipeline) throws ServiceException {
// pipeline
IDataCursor pipelineCursor = pipeline.getCursor();
String[] inList = IDataUtil.getStringArray( pipelineCursor, "inList" );
String ascending = IDataUtil.getString( pipelineCursor, "ascending" );
pipelineCursor.destroy();
// pipeline
IDataCursor pipelineCursor_1 = pipeline.getCursor();
String[] sortedList = inList.clone();
if (ascending.equalsIgnoreCase("true")) {
Arrays.sort(sortedList);
} else {
List<String> list = Arrays.asList(sortedList);
Collections.sort(list, Collections.reverseOrder() );
}
IDataUtil.put( pipelineCursor_1, "sortedList", sortedList );
pipelineCursor_1.destroy();
}
