Component-specific settings for tFileInputDelimited

The following table describes the Job script functions and parameters that you can define in the setSettings {} function of the component.

Function/parameter	Description	Mandatory?
FILENAME	Use this parameter to specify the path and name of the source file, or a data stream that represents the source file. A data stream is implemented via a variable pre-defined in Talend Studio or provided by the context or certain components you are using along with this component, such as tFileList, tJava, or tJavaFlex.	Yes
CSV_OPTION	Set this parameter to `true` to include CSV specific parameters such as ESCAPE_CHAR char and TEXT_ENCLOSURE. By default, this parameter is set to `false`.	No
ESCAPE_CHAR	Use this parameter to specify the escape character to escape metacharacters if the specified file is a standard CSV file. This parameter works only when the CSV_OPTION parameter is set to `true`.	No
TEXT_ENCLOSURE	Use this parameter to specify the text enclosure if the specified file is a standard CSV file. This parameter works only when the CSV_OPTION parameter is set to `true`.	No
CSVROWSEPARATOR	Use this parameter to specify the CSV specific row separator. This parameter works only when the CSV_OPTION parameter is set to `true`.	No
ROWSEPARATOR	Use this parameter to specify the separator used to identify the end of a row.	No
FIELDSEPARATOR	Use this parameter to specify a character, string or regular expression to separate fields for the transferred data.	No
HEADER	Use this parameter to specify the number of rows to be skipped in the beginning of file.	No
FOOTER	Use this parameter to specify the number of rows to be skipped at the end of the file.	No
LIMIT	Use this parameter to specify the maximum number of rows to be processed. If set to 0, no rows will be read or processed.	No
REMOVE_EMPTY_ROW	Set this parameter to `true` to skip any empty rows. By default, this parameter is set to `true`.	No
UNCOMPRESS	Set this parameter to `true` to uncompress the input file if it's a zipped file. By default, this parameter is set to `false`.	No
DIE_ON_ERROR	Set this parameter to `true` to stop the execution of the Job when an error occurs. To catch a FileNotFoundException error, you also need to set this parameter to `true`. Set this parameter to `false` to skip any rows on error and complete the process for error-free rows. When errors are skipped, you can collect the rows on error using a Row > Reject connection. By default, this parameter is set to `false`.	No
ADVANCED_SEPARATOR	Set this parameter to `true` to change the thousands and decimal separators used for numbers. By default, the thousands separator is a comma (,) and the decimal separator is a period (.). By default, this parameter is set to `false`.	No
THOUSANDS_SEPARATOR	Use this parameter to specify the thousands separator. This parameter works only when the ADVANCED_SEPARATOR parameter is set to `true`.	No
DECIMAL_SEPARATOR	Use this parameter to specify the decimal separator. This parameter works only when the ADVANCED_SEPARATOR parameter is set to `true`.	No
RANDOM	Set this parameter to `true` to allow extraction of lines randomly. By default, this parameter is set to `false`.	No
NB_RANDOM	Use this parameter to specify the number of lines to be extracted randomly. This parameters works only when the NB_RANDOM parameter is set to `true`.	No
TRIMALL	Set this parameter to `true` to remove the leading and trailing whitespaces from all columns. By default, this parameter is set to `false`.	No
TRIMSELECT {}	This function lets you specify particular columns to trim using the SCHEMA_COLUMN and TRIM parameters. SCHEMA_COLUMN: Use this parameter to specify a schema column. TRIM: Set this parameter to `true` to trim the specified column. Note that you need to list each schema column using the SCHEMA_COLUMN parameter. For columns you don't want to trim, do without the TRIM parameter or set it to `false`. The settings of this function are meaningful only the TRIMALL paramter isn't present or is set to false.	No
CHECK_FIELDS_NUM	Set this parameter to `true` to check whether the total number of columns in each row is consistent with the schema. If not consistent, an error message will be displayed on the console. By default, this parameter is set to `false`.	No
CHECK_DATE	Set this parameter to `true` to check the date format strictly against the input schema. By default, this parameter is set to `false`.	No
ENCODING	Use this parameter to specify the encoding of the file. The default value is `\"ISO-8859-15\"`.	No
ENCODING:ENCODING_TYPE	Set this parameter according to the ENCODING value: `ISO-8859-15` if the ENCODING value is `\"ISO-8859-15\"`. `UTF-8` if the ENCODING value is `\"UTF-8\"`. `CUSTOM` if ENCODING has another value. The default value is `ISO-8859-15`.	No
SPLITRECORD	Set this parameter to `true` to split rows before splitting fields. By default, this parameter is set to `false`.	No
ENABLE_DECODE	Set this parameter to `true` if any of your numeric types (long, integer, short, or byte type), will be parsed from a hexadecimal or octal string. By default, this parameter is set to `false`.	No
DECODE_COLS {}	Use this function to provide pairs of the following parameters, which are meaningful only the ENABLE_DECODE parameter is set to true: SCHEMA_COLUMN: Use this parameter to specify the column whose input string is to be parsed. This parameter works only when the DECODE parameter following it is set to true. DECODE: Set this parameter to `true` to transform the input string of the specified column to the type defined in the schema.	No
TSTATCATCHER_STATS	Set this parameter to `true` to gather the processing metadata at the Job level as well as at each component level. By default, this parameter is set to `false`.	No
LABEL	Use this parameter to specify a text label for the component.	No
