Configuring the components

Procedure

Select the tFileInputRegex again so the Component view shows up, and define the properties:
The Job is built-in for this scenario. Hence, the Properties are set for this station only.
Fill in a path to the file in File Name field. This field is mandatory.
Define the Row separator identifying the end of a row.
Then define the Regular expression in order to delimit fields of a row, which are to be passed on to the next component. You can type in a regular expression using Java code, and on mutiple lines if needed.

Information noteWarning:
Regex syntax requires double quotes.
In this expression, make sure you include all subpatterns matching the fields to be extracted.
In this scenario, ignore the header, footer and limit fields.
Select a local (Built-in) Schema to define the data to pass on to the tFileOutputPositional component.
You can load or create the schema through the Edit Schema function.
Then define the second component properties:
Enter the Positional file output path.
Enter the Encoding standard, the output file is encoded in. Note that, for the time being, the encoding consistency verification is not supported.
Select the Schema type. Click on Sync columns to automatically synchronize the schema with the Input file schema.
