Configuring Network Integrity File Parser Processor ASCII Settings

A file parser processor that is configured to parse ASCII-delimited files uses parsing rules, records, and field definitions to generate Java classes for accessing file data and to parse input files at run time.

To configure file parser processor ASCII settings:

On the Processor editor ASCII tab, from the Record Delimiter list, select the delimiter type that indicates a new record.
Do one of the following:
- Import a list of record definitions. See "Importing ASCII Record Definitions to Network Integrity File Parser Processors" for more information.
  
  Caution:
  
  Importing record definitions removes all existing record definitions.
- Create record definitions:
  1. In the Record Definitions area, click Add.
    
    The Create Record Definition dialog box appears.
  2. In the Name field, enter a name for the new record.
  3. Click OK
    
    Design Studio adds the record to the Record Definitions area.
  4. In the Record Definitions area, select a record and configure it.
    
    All the columns in the Record Definitions area are editable fields. See "Processor Editor ASCII Tab" for information about the fields in the Record Definitions area.
Add field definitions to records:
1. In the Record Definitions area, select a record name.
2. In the Field Definitions area, click Add.
  
  The Create Field Definition dialog box appears.
3. In the Name field, enter a name for the field definition.
4. Click OK.
  
  Design Studio adds a field definition to the Field Definitions area for the selected record.
5. In the Field Definitions area, select a field definition and configure it.
  
  All columns in the Field Definitions area are editable fields. See "Processor Editor ASCII Tab" for information about the fields in the Field Definitions area.
