tFileInputProperties

Reads a text file row by row and separates the fields according to the model key =
value.

tFileInputProperties Standard properties

These properties are used to configure tFileInputProperties running in the Standard Job framework.

The Standard
tFileInputProperties component belongs to the File family.

The component in this framework is available in all Talend
products.

Basic settings

Schema and Edit Schema	A schema is a row description, it defines the number of fields to be processed and passed on to the next component. The schema is either Built-in or stored remotely in the Repository. For this component, the schema is read-only. It is made of two column, Key and Value, corresponding to the parameter name and the parameter value to be copied.
File format	Select from the list your file format, either: .properties or .ini.
	.properties: data in the configuration file is written in two lines and structured according to the following way: key = value.
	.ini: data in the configuration file is written in two lines and structured according to the following way: key = value and re-grouped in sections. Section Name: enter the section name on which the iteration is based.
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, see Talend Studio User Guide. Warning: Use absolute path (instead of relative path) for this field to avoid possible errors.
Calculate MD5 Hash	Select this check box to verify that the file to be processed has been correctly downloaded.

Advanced settings

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

Global Variables	NB_LINE: the number of rows processed. 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

Usage rule	Use this component to read a text file and separate data according to the structure key = value.

Reading and matching the keys and the values of different
.properties files and outputting the results in a glossary

This four-component Job reads two .properties files, one in French and the
other in English. The data in the two input files is mapped to output a glossary matching
the English and French terms.

The two input files used in this scenario hold localization strings for the
tMysqlInput component in
Talend Studio
.

The glossary displays on the console listing three columns holding: the key
name in the first column, the English term in the second, and the corresponding French term
in the third.

Dropping and linking the components

Drop the following components from the Palette onto the design workspace: tFileInputProperties (x2), tMap, and tLogRow.
Connect the component together using Row >
Main links. The second properties file,
FR, is used as a lookup flow.

Configuring the components

Double-click the first tFileInputProperties
component to open its Basic settings view and
define its properties.
In the File Format field, select your file
format.
In the File Name field, click the three-dot
button and browse to the input .properties
file you want to use.
Do the same with the second tFileInputProperties and browse to the French .properties file this time.
Double-click the tMap component to open the
tMap editor.
Select all columns from the English_terms table and drop
them to the output table.

Select the key column from the
English_terms table and drop it to the
key column in the French_terms
table.
In the glossary table in the lower right
corner of the tMap editor, rename the
value field to EN because it will
hold the values of the English file.
Click the plus button to add a line to the glossary table and rename it to FR.
In the Length field, set the maximum length
to 255.
In the upper left corner of the tMap editor,
select the value column in the
English_terms table and drop it to the
FR column in the French_terms
table. When done, click OK to validate your
changes and close the map editor and propagate the changes to the next
component.
