Generic Reader is outputting extra fme format attributes. Eg:

 

 mapinfo_symbol_color

 

 db_type

 

 jpeg_type

 

 csv_number_of_fields   I want to drop all these attributes leaving only the 'native' attributes but it is hard to do this with a text filter since the pattern varies depending on the input format.  Any ideas?   Unfortunately I can't just ignore them in the writer because I am writing the list of attributes to a string.      
You could try using the AttributeExpressionRemover. As you say though, that would involve alot of work and complexity.

 

 

Have you tried the SchemaReader reader to populate a list of attributes?

 

 

Alternatively, maybe even a custom python solution may be the way to go if you're up for it. I know that there is at least one fmepedia article that i've used to sort out a dynamic attribution solution in the past with Python.

 

 

Good luck.
