hi!

 

I have a very large text file which i would like to split. I tried using attributesplitter, but this transformer deletes delimiter. I want to keep it;)

I also tried stringreplacing the delimiter by adding a new delimiter. Like this: <OLD DELIMITER> changed in <OLD DELIMITER><NEW DELIMITER). When splitting using <NEW DELIMITER> i can keep the old one... BUT... this proces is very very slow, since i have millions of delimiters. Also using old delimiter, then losing it, and then adding it back in again, takes ages...

 

any idea's??? prolly there is a python trick. But i'm a complete noob;)

 

thanks and cheers,

ronald

ahh... just found a solution to missing delimiter... with listconcatenator i can add separator character;))

I'm very much still interested in using splitter which keeps the delimiter...
