The Sequential File stage. Usually.

It depends on exactly how "flat" the file is. A Complex Flat File stage may be the more appropriate choice. If you want to form the join between two text file, a Merge stage is your choice. But, as Craig asseverates, a Sequential File stage is the most likely choice.
