DSXchange

Hello, it's me again:)

Maybe you know, how can I concatenate many columns from single stream into one string?
but I don't want to write in every time: DSLink1.colA : DSLink1.colB : ... : DSLink1.colN !!

Sorry... better start typing.

Or click on the ellipses (...) and click your way through it.

If your source file is Sequential and you want all the columns, you can change the delimeter property for the stage to something that doesnt exist. This will read the row as one long column.
Once you have this long column, if needed, you can replace the actual delimeter with a space, a tab, or whatever.

Just to add to the previous post... Even if your source isn't a Seq file there's nothing stopping you from writing it to a Seq file and using that same method.

Thanks Ishort! It is very smart idea
