How to use tFileInputDelimited and Iterate

[Anonymous]

Hi,
i have a question to component tFileInputDelimited (and the other tFileInput components). There can be two row outputs: main and iterate. How to use main is clear. But how can i use iterate? How does it work? I didn't find any example for. Can anyone give me one please? Thank you. I use java projects.

Hello
The 'iterate' link fires the next subJob based on each row, for example
tFileInputDelimited--Iteate--tJava
if there are three rows come from input component(tFileInputDelimited), tJava component will work three times.

Hi Shong,
i understand what you mean, but not realy how it works. I looked in the generated source code from TOS and didn't find how i can access the fields each row. I created a simple job. tFileDelimited input (with two culumns named "newColumn" and "newColumn1") and an iterate connection to tJava. I'am using TOS 3.2.1.

				while (fid_tFileInputDelimited_1.nextRecord()) {
					/**
					 *  stop
					 */
					/**
					 *  start
					 */
					currentComponent = "tFileInputDelimited_1";
					tos_count_tFileInputDelimited_1++;
					/**
					 *  stop
					 */
					NB_ITERATE_tJava_1++;
					/**
					 *  start
					 */
					ok_Hash.put("tJava_1", false);
					start_Hash.put("tJava_1", System.currentTimeMillis());
					currentComponent = "tJava_1";
					int tos_count_tJava_1 = 0;
					String foo = "bar";
					/**
					 *  stop
					 */
					/**
					 *  start
					 */
					currentComponent = "tJava_1";
					tos_count_tJava_1++;
					/**
					 *  stop
					 */
					/**
					 *  start
					 */
					currentComponent = "tJava_1";
					ok_Hash.put("tJava_1", true);
					end_Hash.put("tJava_1", System.currentTimeMillis());
					/**
					 *  stop
					 */
					/**
					 *  start
					 */
					currentComponent = "tFileInputDelimited_1";
				}

If you want to access the fields each row, you can use tFlowToIterate component, about its usage, see 5827.

Hi Shong
thank you for your answer. For me it is not easy to understand why i must send a main stream to a tFlowToIterate, because tFileDelimited already use a iterate. Which information are sending to tJava in our example with iterate? Only the number of rows i see. Is it right?

Well, I identify that when ITERATE is in use and to access a field, you can use 

fid_tFileInputDelimited_1.get(indx)

Where indx is the number of column that you want to access.
I prefer always access direct to the object in the iterate instead of use an tFlowToIterate, because these component sometimes present strange behaviour and for the cost (in memory) of use a proxy (like a tFlowToIterate).
