Create a variable containing a string by reading an XML file

Anonymous — Wed, 19 Jun 2019 10:24:16 GMT

Hi everyone, I'm new on talend.
I have an XML file from which I read some parameters, after which with these parameters I have to construct a string to save in a global variable which will then be called in the tSOAP element. the string to be created must be of the following type:

000002;000001;18000101;HRANAGRAPHIC;IDPRCATE;;001||000002;000001;18000101;HRANAGRAPHIC;NAME;;001||000002;000001;18000101;HANAGRAPHIC;SURNAME;;001

where ";" separates each parameter I read from my XML, while "||" separate each record I always read from my XML. Someone very kindly could tell me the work flow I have to implement to do this. I would be very grateful.

I suggest you first read you XML file and format to CSV,

tFileInputMSXML ---> tLogRow

After that step, we can then help

Hi,

You can read the XML data through XML parsing components of Talend and get the output records. Like dgm suggested, you can push the data to an interim file with your specific data separation requirements to use semicolon and double pipe.

This interim file can be used to process the data further in your flow. Since you are making an interim file, please remember to delete this file after your use as a house keeping measure.

Warm Regards,
