s.k

I'd like to read a text file containing several lines of user defined variables given in the following format:

var_name = "var value"

There are many lines, each one contains one single variable with one single value:

var_name0 = "var value0"
var_name1 = "var value1"
...

I read the text file using an AttributeFileReader to which I connected an AttributeSplitter.

My results come as one single concatenated line which is obviously not what I want.

In the Delimiter field of the latter, I tried inserting `\n` `\r` or`\r\n` without any success.

I also tried inserting a single newline by pressing one time enter in the "Editor" as discussed here (2013):

https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/2361/use-attributesplitter-with-a-carriage-return.html without much success.

I'm using FME(R) 2020.0.0.1 (20200316 - Build 20202 - linux-x64) on Ubuntu 18.04.

Thanks.
