URGENT : REG-EX PARSING

[vaibhav_jain]

Hi,

I have attached a sample text file having the different fields lengths. Also attached a column definition file explaining each column length.

I want to parse the file & separate based on columns i.e. A,B,C etc.

Please advise the syntax in reg ex tool.

Regards

Hi @vaibhav_jain,

If the given fields are always in the same place in the file, you can pick those locations in the input tool... don't select any particular file type, and on this screen:

... make sure to read it as a "fixed width file" ... this will take you to another screen where you can simply point-and-click the field lengths:

In my screen shot, I've clicked in the first 4 fields... you can scroll right and easily click in your entire field list.  Make sure to adjust the "Record Length" such that you can see everything.

Hope that helps!

Hi John,

Let me also try this method. Will get back to u incase of any query.

Thanks for sharing the solution.
