copying one field to another using regex

Hello,

Is it possible to create a copy field from another by applying a regex or a function to source.

Thanks.
Alex.

Not quite sure what you are asking.

You can certainly use copyField to copy a field, and then apply regex on the destination field's fieldType.  We do that.

No, field data is copied verbatim. Copy the field and strip what you don't 
need.
