CSV Parser

Overview

The CSV (Comma Separated Values) parser reads and writes CSV style data.

Configuration

The parser needs the following parameters:

Parameter

Description

class com.architech.parser.rspCSVParser
csvColumns This parameter specifies the name for each column the parser should read/write. If not specified the parser will read the first line and use the value as field names. You should either use the Field Separator between the field names, or you could specify each name on a separate line.
csvColumnSeparator This parameter specifies the character used to separate each column. If not specified the parser will attempt to guess when reading and use a comma when writing.You can use backslash as escape character  to specify non printable characters. For example \t denotes the TAB character.
characterSet Optional character set conversion.

Note that in the Admin Tool, the parameters are set in the Parser tab of the File Connector. If you want to use TAB as a Field Separator you need to specify \t, but when supplying Field Names you have to use the actual tab character between field names.
