I am trying to ftp a gzip+tar file. There are multiple files that are in the file. I tried the gzip:(ftp://user:password@server/path/name.gz)#file.txt syntax and it doesn’t work. It seems to read the compress file as one file. Anyone have to do this?
Clover as of current version (2.4) does not work with .tar files. It supports .zip archives though. Use them, if you can.
With gzip - it assumes that you have just one file compressed and therefore the #filename has no meaning here.
New CloveETL version 2.7 contains support (read-only) for TAR archives (supports also gzipped Tar).
Can you provide an example of how gzip files are read with the universal data reader?
For example, I have the following files in /data:
a01.dat.gz
a02.dat.gz
a03.dat.gz
I tried to set the file url as such:
gzip:/data/a*.dat.gz
That isn’t recognized, however. I’m not sure what else I need to pass in as the user guide has some additional parts to the file url that I don’t understand.
Thanks.
Hello,
brackets are missing in your path: gzip:(/data/a*.dat.gz). For full info see File url.
Thanks. That worked like a charm.
My local 2.8 user guide doesn’t seem to be in sync with the latest changes. I’ll bookmark the online version.
