Combine columns together, not concatenate

Hi all,

Trying to combine 2 columns in 1, i.e. trying to put column B values in separate rows (not trying to concatenate. I can concatenate using tMap = row1.xxx+row2.xxx). Below is an example of what I'm looking to do:

 

Original file:

Column A     |     Column B

Seattle          |     Portland

Los Angeles |     Sacramento 

 

Desired output:

Column A

Seattle

Los Angeles

Portland

Sacramento

What if you replace tLogRow by tFileOutputDelimited?

If the order for the result doesn't matter and the output is a file, using tMap you can do:
row1.colA + "\\n" + row1.colB
The result will be:
Seattle
Portland
Los Angeles
Sacramento

Hi TRF,

 

Thank you for getting back! Tried it, but still concatenating the result for me. tLogRow output is:

Seattle\nPortland

Los Angeles\nSacramento.

 

Screenshots attached. (The order does not matter).

Ah, "and the output is a file"! Let me try that.

Just tried tFileOutputDelimited -- same result as tLogRow. Still concatenating with \n. 

 

Created new tFileInputDelimited with Row Separator "\n" and Field Separator ",".

tMap still same as the screenshot. 

tFileOutputDelimited same values: row 1 = Seattle\nPortland, row 2 = Los Angeles\nSacramento

Got it! Removed one "\" from tMap.
