Text file - fixed width columns - changing column width

oracleoftemple

I imported a text file with fixed column widths.  After I get quite far along in my workflow, I found that I needed to change the column widths slightly.  Is there a way to do this without deleting the Input Tool, re-inputting the file, and redefining all the columns?

You can change this in your Input Data tool configuration by clicking on the three dots "..." to the right of "File/Filed Layout":

Hi,

 

Can we input the text file dynamically using interface tools?
