Hello,

I have imported a customer source file and am creating a conv file to convert to xml.The source file that is basically text, an example below has 3 rows. Row A is one Row(table) in xml and the 2 rows starting with B are the second XML row(table) in the xml. The data in the B rows repeat a number of times within the rows as well as seperate rows. I can pattern match the rows by ^B at the beginning. The issue i have is to map the fields within a row, i need to split up the data within a row.

A999ABC777
B123EEE123CC22POI666ABC789LL33XDR
B223CBA321BB12XOI789ZZZ927MWQ2BAT

This is the result i am looking for:

<ROOT>
<TABLE_A>
<TABLE_REF>A</TABLE_REF>
<REF>999</REF>
<NAME>ABC</NAME>
<ID>777</ID>
</TABLE_A>
<TABLE_B>
<TABLE_REF>B</TABLE_REF>
<CUST_NO>123</CUST_NO>
<ADDR>EEE</ADDR>
<APP_NO>123</APP_NO>
<CONTACT>CC22POI</CONTACT>
</TABLE_B>
<TABLE_B>
<TABLE_REF>B</TABLE_REF>
<CUST_NO>666</CUST_NO>
<ADDR>ABC</ADDR>
<APP_NO>789</APP_NO>
<CONTACT>LL33XDR</CONTACT>
</TABLE_B>
<TABLE_B>
<TABLE_REF>B</TABLE_REF>
<CUST_NO>223</CUST_NO>
<ADDR>CBA</ADDR>
<APP_NO>321</APP_NO>
<CONTACT>BB12XOI</CONTACT>
</TABLE_B>
<TABLE_B>
<TABLE_REF>B</TABLE_REF>

If these records are based on fixed layout you can mix pattern matching with fixed layout region; have a look at the online documentation -> Adjusting Fixed-Width Regions.

thanks for reply. Having a little difficulty trying to apply what you have said. the first customer row (example A above) will be fixed, however the B row will have a maximum width but we don;t know how many records will be in the next B rows, so the maximum number of records in the first B row will be say 10, then if we have another 2 B rows the second one will contain 10 records and the 3rd we don't know could be anything from 1 to 10 records. However the records in each row do follow a pattern like my example i.e.

can you help me a litte more with the solution to my challange?

thanks
