Issue with reading a file

[Anonymous]

HI,

I have a use case where I have read below file and extract certain tag values and create a new output file

Example: Basically the file beings with a header then data and ends with footer. The columns tags are separated by a ":". My requirement is to extract the TAG 86 (:86) from each record and extract only values for the keyword "ACC_NUM". Each record is separated by "-"

My expected output:

89543209865

018765432975678

018765432975674

note: ACC_NUM is a non mandatory field

Thank you,

Hi,

Please provide more details regarding requirement.

as you mentioned, columns are separated by ":", the data you provided is like below or  each tag you will get in different line?

Hi Veeru,

Each tag will start in a different line.

Thanks,

Hi Brat,

Are you looking for following output?

Here i assumed that for every account number there will be "USNML" entry.

Thanks Veeru..yes that is the expected result I was looking for.

What is the file input delimiter and record separator you used to build the below program?

Hi Brat,

Read full row as one record and check using index function if you have any acc_num in row. using tMap you can filter remaining records and using substring function you can get desired output.
