castAlters the data type of the previous function without altering it’s output
cast works a little like when you case variables in lower level languages where the value of the variable is unchanged. In murex the contents in the pipeline are preserved however the reported data type is altered.
<stdin> -> cast data-type -> <stdout>» out: {"Array":[1,2,3],"Map":{"String": "Foobar","Number":123.456}} -> cast json
{"Array":[1,2,3],"Map":{"String": "Foobar","Number":123.456}}If you want to reformat the STDIN into the new data type then use format instead.
format: Reformat one data-type into another data-typeout: Print a string to the STDOUT with a trailing new line charactertout: Print a string to the STDOUT and set it’s data-typeThis site's content is rebuilt automatically from murex's source code after each merge to the master branch.
