l
Command: Enter either the full path of the executable file that will sort the CSV file,
or a valid Windows command line instruction to sort the records.
Placeholders can be used within this command, and are available via the Insert
input/output file placeholder options (expressed as either ${input} or
${output}) or via Job Creation runtime Parameters (expressed as
${params.xxxx}, where the xxxx is the name of the runtime parameter).
The Windows command line instruction should do something like the following:
1.
Do some processing of the input CSVfile which PrintShop Mail Connect will
pass through in the position of the ${input} placeholder.
2. Generate an output file that contains the sorted data and must be named
according the file name PrintShop Mail Connect will pass through in the
position of the ${output} placeholder
For example: cmd /C sort /R ${input} ${output}
This would reverse the order of the ${input} file, and sent the output to the
${output} file.
l
Timeout: Enter the number of seconds to wait for an external sort command to
complete before abandoning the external sort.
l
Separator: Enter the field separator used in the CSV file, such as a comma (,), pipe
(|), semicolon (;), etc.
l
Quote Character: Enter the quoting character that wraps around any field that
contains the separator.
l
Escape Character: Enter the character use to escape the Quote character if it
appears in the field value.
l
Line Ending: Use the drop-down to select which line ending to use. The selections
are: Windows Carriage Return/Line Feed combination (CRLF), Linux Line Feed
(LF) or Apple Macintosh Carriage Return (CR).
l
Character Set: Use the drop-down to select which character set to use when
encoding the CSV file. This always defaults to UTF-8, as this caters for all possible
characters, is relatively compact (in terms of Unicode character sets) and is
compatible with standard ASCII.
