Reading file name having spaces

[AmeyJoshi14]

Hi,

We are facing problem while reading the file which are having name sperated with spaces.
eg:
abc file.csv
abc file1.csv

We have tried to use File pattern in sequential file,where in we can able to read the file but in the data we also want the file name column currently the value is coming as "/home/dsadm/*.csv"

Can anybody suggest us some method where in we can read the file along with the filename...
Thanks in Advance!!

Try double-quoting the filename with spaces, as the operating system will read space seperated strings as more than one argument.

As for the filename - what are you wanting to do with this exactly? You can add an option the stage to include 'file name column' which will add the filename the data was sourced from.

Thanks for reply!!
It really worked.

In the sequential file stage we ahve added the fileNameColumn inorder to know which records are coming from the respective files.The output of the sequential file is coming as :

Code: Select all

Col1,Col2,FileNameColumn
1,ABC,/home/dsadm/*.csv
2,DEF,/home/dsadm/*.csv

But actually our requirement is

Code: Select all

Col1,Col2,FileNameColumn
1,ABC,abc file.csv
2,DEF,abc file1.csv

Inshort we just want the file name(not the whole path)...Any help on this

Again thanks for the help!!

From next stage extract the filename from the full path.

Code: Select all

Field(Filenamecolumn:'/','/',4)

That plus this should help, and there's no need to concat that extra delimiter.

ps. The Field() usage could be made more generic to always return the last field regardless of the number of delimiters rather than hard-coding it like that. FYI.
