Lat new line

Hallo all

Is there a way to omit the last new line character in the constraint of a transformer? I dont want to have to revert to scripts and/or SEQ stages to do this.

I have tried LINK.COL > 0 and LINK.COL <> @NULL, but no luck.

What do you mean with "last new line character in the constraint of transformer". The newlines in an outputfile are generated by the sequential stage.

Hi ogmios

yes, the new line is generated in the SEQ stage, but i have an extra "line" of "data" after all my detail records are listed. i.e.

Code: Select all

col1|col2|col3|CR/LF
dat1|dat2|dat3|[color=red]CR/LF[/color]
<this is an extra record with nothing in, not even NULL>
i want to omit the CR/LF in red above. (ok, not red, but CR/LF)

In a sequential stage generating a file you have the option "Omit last new-line" on the inputs/format tab (left lower side of the tab).

I guess you need that one.

lat = last
