try below script

but make sure you have add only delimiter at one time , in your data TRANSACTION DATE : 10:02 AM, 05 Dec 2021

you use same delimiter 2 time. try like TRANSACTION DATE : 10.02 AM, 05 Dec 2021 then  below script  will work 


ABC:

LOAD [TRANSACTION DATE],
[CLIENT ID],
[CLIENT NAME],
AMOUNT,
[TRANSACTION REF.]
FROM
[lib://desk/ss.txt]
(txt, codepage is 28591, embedded labels, delimiter is ':', msq, filters(Transpose()));

Assuming there are multiple transactions included in one file, one solution might be:

using this test file:

MarcoWedel_1-1647367365940.png

 

 

tabTransactFile:
LOAD [@1:n] as Line,
     RangeSum(Peek(TransactID),-([@1:n]='----------NEW TRANSACTON-----------')) as TransactID
FROM [lib://DataFiles/Transactions.txt] (fix, codepage is 1252);

tabTransactTemp:
Generic
Load TransactID,
     SubField(Line,':',1),
     Mid(Line,Index(Line,':')+1)     
Resident tabTransactFile
Where Line<>'----------NEW TRANSACTON-----------';

Drop Table tabTransactFile;

tabTransact:
Load '' as TempField AutoGenerate 0;

FOR i = NoOfTables()-1 to 0 STEP -1
  LET vTable=TableName($(i));
  IF WildMatch('$(vTable)', 'tabTransactTemp.*') THEN
    JOIN (tabTransact) LOAD * RESIDENT [$(vTable)];
    DROP TABLE [$(vTable)];
  ENDIF
NEXT i

Drop Field TempField;

 

 

hope this helps

When I use Mid() function or this Expression: Mid(Line,Index(Line,':')+1) showing An error occurs: the session has timed out due to inactivity.

I don't think this error message is related to the Mid() function.

Did you try reopening your session and repeating the test?
