Hi guys,

 

While opening multiple csv files which those have same table but different delimiter.

For instance some of them comma ( , )  the others pipe ( | )

How can I use these two or more delimiter while openin multiple csv files?

 

Thanks in advanced :))

Hi @acaryasin01 

 

You can't do this strictly with the Input tool. You would first need to input all files with a non-delimiter "\0".

Once the files have been input, you can then use a Text to Columns to parse out the fields using multiple delimiters.

Hope this helps.
