CSVParse

Updated

Description

Parses a CSV string, constructs a value of the set type and sends it through the result output.

Properties

Specific

Input

EXPRESSION (string)

CSV string to be parsed.

Delimiter

EXPRESSION (string)

Defines the character used to delimit fields within a CSV record. The default delimiter is ",".

From

EXPRESSION (integer)

Defines the starting record to be processed. Counting is 1-based, i.e. for the first record it is necessary to set 1 (not 0).

To

EXPRESSION (integer)

Defines the last record to be processed. Counting is 1-based, i.e. for the 5th record it is necessary to set 5 (not 4).

Inputs

seqin

SEQ | OPTIONAL

A standard sequence input.

text

DATA(string) | MANDATORY

The input through which the CSV string to be parsed is received. This input can be deleted (we delete it in the Flow – Inputs list) if it is not needed, i.e. if we want to parse a string obtained by evaluating an arbitrary expression set through Input property.

Outputs

seqout

SEQ | OPTIONAL

A standard sequence output.

result

DATA(any) | MANDATORY

Data output to which the constructed value is sent. The type of that value must be specified – this should be done in the Flow – Outputs section:

In the CSV example mentioned below, we have a CSV string that looks like this:

[
    {
        "country": "Afghanistan",
        "city": "Kabul"
    },
    {
        "country": "Albania",
        "city": "Tirana"
    },
    {
        "country": "Algeria",
        "city": "Alger"
    },
    ...
]

The constructed value returned by this Action should be of type array:CountryCity, where CountryCity is a structure that has two fields (the name of the structure CountryCity is arbitrarily chosen by the developer):

  • country, whose type is string
  • city, whose type is string

The definition of that structure looks like this in the Project editor:
