https://community.qlik.com/t5/Talend-Studio/Issue-with-tFileinputpositional/m-p/2331745#M100693 <P>Hi All,<BR />I am trying to read the records in a flat file using the component tFileInputPositional. For this I have mentioned the required field lengths in pattern.<BR />Issue is that the tFileInputPositional component reads all the records from the file, but it does not reject the records that don't fit the format. As a result of this I am getting Null pointer errors in the tMap that follows.<BR />Please suggest what needs to be done in order to ensure that the input records that don't match the formats are rejected by tFileInputPositional.<BR />Thanks.</P> Wed, 20 Jan 2016 12:38:36 GMT Anonymous 2016-01-20T12:38:36Z https://community.qlik.com/t5/Talend-Studio/Issue-with-tFileinputpositional/m-p/2331745#M100693 <P>Hi All,<BR />I am trying to read the records in a flat file using the component tFileInputPositional.
