Hi,

my quoted data looks like this:

"ref", "address", "amount"
"1", "100 A St.", "100000"
"2", "101 A St.", "150000"

it does not matter if I set quotedStrings to "true" or "false" for DataReader in my graph file, my result for both cases would be the same:

"1", "100 A St.", "100000"
"2", "101 A St.", "150000"


is that correct that the result is the same, independant of the quotedStrings setting??

fyi, this is how I set the quotedStrings in my Graph file:

<Node id="INPUT" type="DATA_READER" fileURL="${DATA}/test.txt" skipFirstLine="true" quoteStrings="false" trim="false"/>


Also, the same applies if my data are not quoted... the result will have no quotes, no matter if I set the quotedStrings to "true" or "false"...


Thanks,
al

  Hi,
  don't you have spell mistake in attribute name? It should be quotedStrings="true", not quoteStrings="true"

  Hi Agata,
  
  you are right... the misspelling caused the erraneous behavior...
  
  it would be helpful if the Graph execution would error if there are incorrect attribute names... to prevent mistyping...
  
  thanks,

  Hi,
  it can't be treated as error, because sometimes you may want to pass unknown attribute (eg. in Reformat), but it is good idea to log it.
  I've reported an issue for it: http://bug.cloveretl.org/view.php?id=1112
