GREL Array Functions

Array functions supported by the OpenRefine Expression Language (GREL)

See also: All GREL functions.

length(array a)

Returns the length of array a.

slice(array a, number from, optional number to)

Returns the sub-array of a from its index from up to but not including index to. If to is omitted, it is understood to be the end of the array a. For example, slice([ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4], 1, 3) returns [ 1, 2 ], and slice([ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4], 1) returns [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ].

get(array a, number from, optional number to)

See slice function above.

reverse(array a)

Reverses array a. For example, reverse([ 0, 1, 2, 3]) returns the array [ 3, 2, 1, 0 ].

sort(array a)

Sorts array a in ascending order. For example, sort([ 2, 1, 0, 3]) returns the array [ 0, 1, 2, 3 ].

sum(array a)

Return the sum of the numbers in the array a. For example, sum([ 2, 1, 0, 3]) returns 6.

join(array a, string sep)

Returns the string obtained by joining the array a with the separator sep. For example, join([ "foo", "bar", "baz" ], ";") returns the string foo;bar;baz.

uniques(array a)

Returns array a with duplicates removed. For example, uniques([ 2, 1, 2, 0, 1, 4, 3]) returns the array [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ].
