I need to read from a file with multiple records only the columns name that start with a prefix and convert them into a list to do some processing after with those column names. This is what I've got so far
This is the output with the column names that I need. But I need to convert those into a list to do some processing for every column name. How could I achieve that?
Thanks
Hi @rrdlpl, other than scripting, there are two possible ways to extract attribute names.
[Addition] If you read the source dataset with a FeatureReader, schema features having "attribute{}.name" list will be output for each feature type via the <Schema> port, by default. The schema features are equivalent to the schema features read by the Schema (Any Format) reader.
+44To create a list I would use a Counter to create a unique ID (if you don't have one already) and an Aggregator transformer with group-by set to the ID. Make sure the "Generate List" option is set to yes (check the box). Then you should get the list you want.
Pity it doesn't allow a regular expression to define which attributes to add - then you could have checked for your prefix and created a list, all in one.
