Convert JavaScript Label to ARCADE

JohnBrockwell

Hello,

I have a JavaScript label expression that I am having trouble converting to ARCADE. The label expression is addresses for New York City Buildings. Since some buildings have multiple addresses the ability to minimize text is essential.

In the label field are parenthesis and since ARCADE uses parenthesis i can't figure out how to represent them as text.

Here is the label expression in JavaScript:            
function FindLabel (  [FIELDNAMEl]   )
{
  return [FIELDNAME].replace(/::/g, "\n").replace(/ *\([^)]*\) */g, "");
}

In ARCADE I currently have the label expression looking like this:

Replace($feature.FIELDNAME, '/::/g/ *\([^)]*\) */g', " " )

Parenthesis need to be removed from the label as well, which should remove the street name, for example, (W 34TH ST).

All types of characters should be replaced with nothing. I want to minimize code as well.

Thanks in Advance.Xander BakkerJake Skinner

Hi jbrockwe , 

Yes, the code I provided is not connected to any field, so it is returning the same result for each record. Try this (I assume your field is called "Address_Label", see line 1):
