Hi @CHandrash12 ,

 

can could use an Input tool and configure t to read "delimited text file", use ";" as a delimiter.

Hi Chadrakanth,

Please find the attached workflow for the solution.

The following configuration has been used for reading the text file as delimited file.

Delimiter = ";"

Ignore Delimiter in = "Quotes" (for comments column)
