Defining the input component - Cloud - 8.0

// read input data
addComponent {
	setComponentDefinition {
		TYPE: "tFileInputDelimited",
		NAME: "tFileInputDelimited_1",
		POSITION: 160, 192
	}
}

As shown below, this component will read a CSV file named sampleRecords.csv, which has a header row and a footer row to skip, and the component will be labeled source_data.

	setSettings {
		FILENAME : "\"E:/Talend/Data/Input/sampleRecords.csv\"",
		HEADER : "1",
		FOOTER : "1",
		LABEL : "source_data"
	}

In this example, the source file has five columns, all being non-nullable:

• name, type String

• gender, type String

• age, type Integer, two characters long

• city, type String

• marriageStatus, type String

	addSchema {
		NAME: "tFileInputDelimited_1",
		CONNECTOR: "FLOW"
		addColumn {
			NAME: "name",
			TYPE: "id_String"
		}
		addColumn {
			NAME: "gender",
			TYPE: "id_String"
		}
		addColumn {
			NAME: "age",
			TYPE: "id_Integer",
			LENGTH: 2
		}
		addColumn {
			NAME: "city",
			TYPE: "id_String"
		}
		addColumn {
			NAME: "marriageStatus",
			TYPE: "id_String"
		}
	}
