PaperCut - Sharp OSA Manual 2014-12-24

1. Create a file text file [install-path]/server/custom/card.js

2. Define a single JavaScript function in this file called “convert” It should accept

and return a single string. Here is a trivial example:

function convert(cardNumber) {

return cardNumber.substring(3,10).toLowerCase();

}

3. Enter a converter in the form: javascript:custom/card.js

Tip: Check the file [install-path]/server/log/server.log when testing.

Any scripting errors will be displayed as warning messages in the log.

Tip: A Javascript script may also be included in the pipeline. For example

ascii-enc|hex2dec|javascript:custom/card.js

Other advanced notes

 If both a regular expression and a converter are defined, the regular

expression is applied first. This means a regular expression can be used to

clean up the input (e.g. remove checksum or delimiters) before passing to a

converter.

 In some special situations a custom JavaScript implementation may not be

enough. For example there may be a requirement to use a 3rd party system

to decrypt the number. PaperCut includes an advanced plugin architecture

that the PaperCut Software development team uses to implement these

advanced converters. Please contact support to discuss development

options and costs.
