Reading data from unstructured File

Hello All,

 

I have a file like below which is un structured. The real data starts from line number 10. We can use tfileinput delimiter for that with having header as 10. But i would like to take the values which is right to "Game DATE" and "TRIG: CO." . These are in line numbers 6 and 8. I need to take those values and have them as two fields along with the actual data set, whcih starts form Line number 10. Kindly advise on this. 

 

"SSG TRIG: S81GS146"
"END GAME"
"Player Place - NY"

" Game DATE:","11/27/2018"
"CURRENT DATE:","11/27/2018"

"TRIG: CO.  (TEAMS)"
"TEAM", " T1 ","T2 "," EXC "," TYEN "," "
"NO. "," SWQ ","SDD "," TIONS "," TIONS "," FINAL "
"S1 ",    80.00 , 000.00 , 000.00 ,   000.00 ,   000.00
"S2 ",    70.00 , 000.00 , 000.00 ,   000.00 ,   000.00

 

 

Output I required should be of below format.

"Game DATE" "TRIG: CO." "NO. "," SWQ ","SDD "," TIONS " ," TIONS ", " FINAL "
"11/27/2018,            81,         "S1 ",80.00 ,   000.00 ,  000.00 ,   000.00 ,   000.00
"11/27/2018,            81,         "S2 ",70.00 ,   000.00 ,  000.00 ,   000.00 ,   000.00

You'll probably need two hits at reading the data in, firstly reading full row, for 1 rows. Inspect each line and extract data if its what you want. secondly, for the data rows, with a header size of 10 to skip the "header".

 

Thanks

Hello,

Here is a TalendHelpCenter:tFileInputRaw in talend which reads all data in a raw file and sends it to a single output column for subsequent processing by another component.

Best regards

Is this tfileinputraw component OK with you?

Hi Sabrina,

 

I am able to take all the data into one column, but how I have to split it in different columns, is what confusing. Since im yet to explore Talend much, i am not able to proceed further.

Hi,

 

Use something like:

 

tFileInputFullRow (read in only the 1st 10 rows ) ->tJavaRow - if this rows contains text of interest, extract & place into global map.

V

tFileInputDelimted (skip 1st 10 rows) -> tJavaRow (add in columns of interest values from previous step) -> more stuff
