Hi All,
I would like to know if there's a way for talend by default import as negative number what comes surrounded in parenthesis?
For instance, a file containing a columns as statement with some positive and negatives numbers (round brackets)
ie
Statement
(404)
(500)
(1200)
3200
If use this file to get the schema, this column will be recognized as STRING not as INTEGER/DOUBLE/FLOAT and if it's needed to make calculations, like sum, avg, etc Talend raise errors (NumberFormatException), due all values surrounded by parenthesis not be converted by negative numbers (ie. (404) = -404).
I did a trick into my job, creating a routine to convert round brackets negative numbers to numbers with minus sign, but would I to know if there is a way for Talend to do that by default?
