Json – Remove escape characters from string using JOLT

I’m trying to use replace function to remove the special characters, but the escape characters are not being removed.

Input:

[
  {
    "MiddleName": "Gisela"mn"
  },
  {
    "MiddleName": "Gisela12---"
  }
]

Spec:

[
  {
    "operation": "modify-overwrite-beta",
    "spec": {
      "*": {
        "MiddleName": "=replace('(\-\s*)|\s+--',@(1,MiddleName))"
      }
    }
  }
]

The output I’m getting:

[
  {
    "MiddleName": "Gisela"mn"
  },
  {
    "MiddleName": "Gisela12"
  }
]

The output I need:

[
  {
    "MiddleName": "Giselamn"
  },
  {
    "MiddleName": "Gisela12"
  }
]

    You can consecutively use split and join functions such as

    [
  {
    "operation": "modify-overwrite-beta",
    "spec": {
      "*": {
        "*": "=split('"',@(1,&))"
      }
    }
  },
  {
    "operation": "modify-overwrite-beta",
    "spec": {
      "*": {
        "*": "=join('',@(1,&))"
      }
    }
  },
  {
    "operation": "modify-overwrite-beta",
    "spec": {
      "*": {
        "*": "=split('-',@(1,&))"
      }
    }
  },
  {
    "operation": "modify-overwrite-beta",
    "spec": {
      "*": {
        "*": "=join('',@(1,&))"
      }
    }
  }
]

    You can use simpler way like this spec:

    [
  {
    "operation": "modify-overwrite-beta",
    "spec": {
      "*": {
        "MiddleName_temp1": "=split('"',@(1,MiddleName))",
        "MiddleName_temp2": "=join('',@(1,MiddleName_temp1))",
        "MiddleName_temp3": "=split('-',@(1,MiddleName_temp2))",
        "MiddleName": "=join('',@(1,MiddleName_temp3))"
      }
    }
  },
  {
    "operation": "remove",
    "spec": {
      "*": {
        "MiddleName*": ""
      }
    }
  }
]
