The StringAttributeRounder (and alternative FME2007 version) is a form of AttributeRounder that can handle attributes containing text as well as numbers in a single string. The user can choose whether the text part of the string is at the start or end of the string.

The rounding direction is always equivalent to "nearest", though it wouldn't be hard to expose this parameter for run-time setting by the user.

Examples:

Start Attribute: m234.5555
Text Part At: Start
Decimal Places: 2
Result: m234.56

Start Attribute: 234.5555m
Text Part At: End
Decimal Places: 2
Result: 234.56m

The transformer also handles <space> characters, for example:

Start Attribute: x y234.5555
Text Part At: Start
Decimal Places: 2
Result: x y234.56
