Hi all,
I’m trying to transform http connector request content (one field with “,” separtd items) to n fields (, that I can use for next steps.
Any ideas how to do that?
thank you,
Thomas

If I understand it correctly, you’re trying to parse HTTP response into n fields, right?
There are two viable approaches:
Use _Reformat_ and CTL function _split()_ on the _content_ field or;
Connect _FlatFileReader_ component to the _HTTPConnector_, set _File URL_ = _port:$0.content:discrete_ and appropriate metadata on the edge behind _FlatFileReader_ in case you need to work with response as with records. Metadata record in your case needs to have “,” set as _Field delimiter_ and _EOF as record delimiter_ set to true.
To illustrate this case:

Hope it helps. If that’s not what you’re looking for, can you please post more specific example?
