Dynamic column name in CSV

[Anonymous]

Hello,
I have a csv file with a hundred column. The first row of each column is the name of this column.
I need to split this file to different output (other files, DB...). Those output always use the same column (based on the name).
My problem is that the csv file will change by the order of the column. So i never know which column i need to extract. So i need to map to map my csv column order to a predefiend column order. How can i do that ?
ex:
the CSV file can look that way :
name1; name2; name3
value11;value21;value31
value12;value22;value32
value13;value23;value33
or that way:
name1; name3;name2
value11;value31;value21
value12;value32;value22
value13;value33;value23

i was thinking using context variable where columnName= a variable defined by this name. I'm not sure if it's the best solution.
I'm using Talend 3.1
thanks for any help.

You can download a sample job of how to do this from the exchange, it also includes a routine that facilitates this. The link for the sample job is http://www.talendforge.org/exchange/tos/extension_view.php?eid=177
Hope that helps.

i downloaded the job but i don't know ho to run it. Talend does not recognize it as a project, and when i try to mix this file with an empty project, i got nothing more in the editor.

Shong, the file is in the documentation section of the repository with that job. So, if you imported everything, you'll have the excel file. You'll have to setup the context to point to where you put the file, though.
