Hello, 

 

I am trying to transform a CSV file that is delimited by a ":"

 

How can I transform this:

120::OWNER:CASHDBO:TABLE_NAME:CASH_ACTIVITY:Total_Number_of_Fields:187:Number_of_Fields_With_Values:105:Number_of_Fields_Null:82:Percentage_Used:56%:Total_Records:4812176:
120::OWNER:HOLDINGDBO:TABLE_NAME:LOT_LEVEL_POSITION:Total_Number_of_Fields:204:Number_of_Fields_With_Values:41:Number_of_Fields_Null:163:Percentage_Used:20%:Total_Records:164175394:
120::OWNER:HOLDINGDBO:TABLE_NAME:NAV:Total_Number_of_Fields:170:Number_of_Fields_With_Values:70:Number_of_Fields_Null:100:Percentage_Used:41%:Total_Records:640078:
120::OWNER:HOLDINGDBO:TABLE_NAME:PD_CURVE_ANALYTICS:Total_Number_of_Fields:80:Number_of_Fields_With_Values:19:Number_of_Fields_Null:61:Percentage_Used:24%:Total_Records:36517713:
120::OWNER:HOLDINGDBO:TABLE_NAME:POSITION:Total_Number_of_Fields:38:Number_of_Fields_With_Values:21:Number_of_Fields_Null:17:Percentage_Used:55%:Total_Records:441477:

 

to this:

OWNER

CASHDBOCASH_ACTIVITY1871058256%4812176

HOLDINGDBOPD_CURVE_ANALYTICS80196124%37116937
HOLDINGDBOPOSITION38211755%446641

 

The pattern is as follows, Column Header:data:column header:data

 

Thanks for the help!

You need the Text to Columns tool in the Parse tab. You can then delimit by colon (or whatever the delimiter is.)
