@Prabir Guha

You can use the replaceText processor to replace tabs with commas in a text/plain input file.

lets assume my input file's content has the following value:

15259-screen-shot-2017-05-09-at-115146-am.png

I could then configure my replaceText processor to do teh following:

15258-screen-shot-2017-05-09-at-114958-am.png

The Search Value is set to a tab.

The Replacement Value is set to a comma.

The resulting content is:

15260-screen-shot-2017-05-09-at-115249-am.png

Thanks,

Matt

    @Matt Clarke "The Search Value is set to a tab." How should the search value TAB be set? '\t' or 0x09

    I literally hit the "tab" key on my keyboard.
