Settings Pane
The Delimiter, Boundary setting, and a list of Data Samples used in the current data mapping
configuration can be found under the Settings tab. The available options depend on the type of
data sample that is loaded. For more information about Delimiters and Boundaries, see
Configuring The Data Source (Settings).
The Input Data (Delimiters)
Delimiters are borders that naturally separate blocks of data in the Data Sample and they differ
for each data type. For example, a CSV is delimited by record, and PDF files are delimited
naturally by pages.
For a CSV File
In a CSV file, data is read line by line, where each line can contain multiple fields. Even though
CSV stands for comma-separated values, CSV can actually refer to files where fields are
separated using a number of separators, including commas, tabs, semicolons, pipes or any
other character. The input data selection is required so you can specify to the DataMapper
module how the fields are separated. This is done using the field Separator. The other
important option is the Text delimiter, which is used to wrap around each field just in case the
field values contain the field separator. This ensures that, for example, the field “Smith John” is
not interpreted as two fields, even if the field delimiter is the semicolon.
