How to read data from flat file source if the data is in paragraph format?..

Answer / sajid

In order to read data from flat file, your must have to be in readable format first. Informatica cannot read/understand the flat file which contains the unstructured data.

By using UNIX shell script or third party tool you will have to bring your data in readable format. When I say in readable format means you will have to use some delimiter in flat file to separate the one column value to another column.
