Regex prior to parse

Hi (again),

I want to do a regex prior to parsing into metadata in a Universal Data Reader. That is, I want to convert “|” to “-” while reading, prior to parsing into the individual fields in the metadata. What I don’t want is to have to iterate over each field after the parse.

Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks
Jay

Hi Jay,
you can transform your data before parsing with Input Port Reading feature. Example of such approach you can find in attached graph. Don’t forget to set eofAsDelimiter=“true” on the last field as the eol is stripped out by first Reader.
