https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Support-Questions/Apache-Nifi-processor-to-convert-Control-A-u0001-separated/m-p/161045#M123430 <P>On a Mac, I found a useful procedure <A target="_blank" href="http://symbolcodes.tlt.psu.edu/keyboards/charpalosx.html">here</A> for enabling the pasting of a Unicode character into the current text box. Using this, I opened the ConvertCSVToAvro processor dialog, then the CSV Delimiter property value dialog. Then using the procedure I selected character \u0001, which pastes it into the property (although it is not a visible character so you won't see it on the screen). Click OK then Apply and the delimiter should be set to \u0001. I tried this with a simple example and it worked.</P><P>On Windows I think you can use the Character Map or something similar, but the idea is to either have some utility copy a unicode character to the clipboard for pasting into the property value dialog, or perhaps it will paste for you (like the Mac utility).</P><P>Once <A target="_blank" href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-2369">NIFI-2369</A> is resolved, there might be a way to use Expression Language to make this more visible, like ${literal('\u0001')} or something.</P><P>Alternatively, you could use a scripting processor like <A target="_blank" href="https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/components/org.apache.nifi.processors.script.ExecuteScript/index.html">ExecuteScript</A> and do the split with code (Javascript, Groovy, e.g.)</P> Thu, 03 Nov 2016 02:07:03 GMT mburgess 2016-11-03T02:07:03Z
