Component family

File/ Output

Function

tFileOutputMSDelimited writes
multiple schema in a delimited file.

Purpose

tFileOutputMSDelimited creates a
complex multi-structured delimited file, using data structures
(schemas) coming from several incoming Row flows.

Basic settings

File Name

Name and path to the file to be created and/or the variable to be
used.

For further information about how to define and use a variable in
a Job, see Talend Studio
User Guide.

Row Separator

String (ex: ”
“on Unix) to distinguish rows.

Field Separator

Character, string or regular expression to separate fields.

Use Multi Field Separators

Select this check box to set a different field separator for each
of the schemas using the Field
separator field in the Schemas area.

Schemas

The table gets automatically populated by schemas coming from the
various incoming rows connected to tFileOutputMSDelimited. Fill out the dependency
between the various schemas:

Parent row: Type in the parent flow
name (based on the Row name
transferring the data).

Parent key column: Type in the key
column of the parent row.

Key column: Type in the key column
for the selected row.

Advanced settings

Advanced separator (for numbers)

Select this check box to modify the separators used for
numbers:

Thousands separator: define
separators for thousands.

Decimal separator: define
separators for decimals.

CSV options

Select this check box to take into account all parameters specific
to CSV files, in particular Escape
char and Text
enclosure parameters.

Create directory if not exists

This check box is selected by default. It creates the directory
that holds the output delimited file, if it does not already
exist.

Encoding

Select the encoding from the list or select Custom and define it manually. This field is
compulsory for DB data handling.

Don’t generate empty file

Select this check box if you do not want to generate empty files.

tStatCatcher Statistics

Select this check box to gather the Job processing metadata at a
Job level as well as at each component level.

Global Variables

NB_LINE: the number of rows read by an input component or
transferred to an output component. This is an After variable and it returns an
integer.

ERROR_MESSAGE: the error message generated by the
component when an error occurs. This is an After variable and it returns a string. This
variable functions only if the Die on error check box is
cleared, if the component has this check box.

A Flow variable functions during the execution of a component while an After variable
functions after the execution of the component.

To fill up a field or expression with a variable, press Ctrl +
Space to access the variable list and choose the variable to use from it.

For further information about variables, see Talend Studio
User Guide.

Usage

Use this component to write a multi-schema delimited file and
separate fields using a field separator value.
