flatfile schema - unknown num of fileds

  • 1.  flatfile schema - unknown num of fileds

    Posted Tue February 27, 2018 05:20 AM

    Hi,

    Is it possible to build a flatfile schema that parse unknown number of fields?

    This is my file:
    HEADER:001:002:003:004:005

    …and it might go on with more comma separated fields, do I need to know how many in order to build the schema, I like to read them to the end of record?

    thanks

    I think you can trap those unparsed fields that convertToValues outputs as UnDef fields and then you can make a loop of those or make string of it to analyze the ffSchema that you can build out of it.

    Just a rough thought.
