Talend Open Studio：带半冒号的分隔文件和带引号的标头

Question

I have a delimited file that is delimited by semi colon. The first row in this file is the header, and the header tokens are in double quotes: an example is below:

"name", "telephone", "age", "address", "y"

When using the tFileDelimited and tMap and you pull the fields in, they look like this with underscores around the fields: _name_, _telephone_, _age_, _address_, Column05

SO it seems that the fields, the double quote is changed to underscore character and for some reason the last field is a single character without the quotes, but Talend seems to ignore this field name and gives its own default.

Just wondering if anyone has encountered this kind of behaviour and whether one should use a regex to remove the double quotes, to preprocess this first. Any help appreciated.

Answer 1

Be sure to remove extra blank spaces in the first row, between header tokens. If you use Metadata to import your file, you should have the right names appearing, (just check the options : 'heading rows as column names' and "\\"" as the text enclosure)
