csvFileDS

Using the csvFileDS Data Source

Purpose

The aim of this Data Source is to read or write into a CSV file.

Pipelite Configuration

The specific configuration (as a Datasource) in the configuration file section parameters includes the following parameters:

• separator: By default that's the comma (,) but the column separator can be changed here
• filename: file name (without path)
• path : path of the file to read and/or write

Configuration example:

"classname" : "pipelines.type.directPipeline",
"extractors" : [ {
    "id": "S1",
    "classname": "datasources.xesFileDS",
    "parameters": {
        "separator": ",",
        "filename": "test.xes",
        "path": "tests/data/"
    }   
    ... ] ...

Note: As the configuration of this Data source happens in the extractor section, pipelite will read the file. (it would have wrote into that file if the configuration would have happened in the loaders section).
