User Insert

[DrGenious]

Hi,

I want to ask from a user to input a string and then this string to be searched inside a file in order to see if it is exists  . Thank you .

You can take user input in form of context variable.In the below screenshot you can see one check box under default column is checked.It means when you run the job it will ask input from user .If there is no input given then it will take the default value else the value given by user,Here in this case it will take CONN1 as default value assigned to context variable CONN_OPTION

After this you can use the context variable corresponding which the value is assigned  to search the match in a file.

Hi,

   You can check like below.

In this example, I am having an input file as shown below and I am checking whether the string "name" is present in that file. The name to be searched is assigned to a context variable and you can pass value to context variable during run time (check other Talend articles to know about it).

input file

Now I am reading the entire file using tFileInput Raw as a string

in tMap, you can check whether string exists using java contains() function.

Hope I answered your query 🙂
