Hi Pedro

sorry still new to talend

I understand the concept what component do i use to populate the file withe the header

as the first line of the header has a string describing filetype , then i insert a GUID and getDate() for the date

(i used String newGUID = java.util.UUID.randomUUID().toString() to generate and assigned it as global, using globalMap.put("GUID",newGUID)

the second line being the schema data header bu prefixed with #.

could you elaborate :

i am trying the following , see screen shots


and pass that to my first output file ... but no luck

Hi

when populating a delimited file from a DB , i can choose that it include  HEADER...

how do i create said output with my own 2 line header , with my relevant details .

and then bring in my data

Regards

example:

FILTYPE00001-as7vlkdf9923j-kljsda89823m-20110637051002         //HEADER line 1 - file information i.e. file type , guid , date
#data1~data~data3                                                                    //HEADER line 2 - same as header but starts with #

data1~data2~data3                                                                     //row1 from data DB
data1~data2~data3                                                                     //row2 from data DB
data1~data2~data3                                                                     //row3 from data DB
