Remove space in line feed

  • Hi,

    I have flat file, derived column and OLE DB in my Data flow task. It executed successfully. But when i see the data in my table there are some spaces in one of my last column. For ex

    1,Name1,End of shift [See space after End of shift]

    2.Name2,Break [See space after Break]

    I use TRIM function in my derived column. Even after that i won't affect. Still the spaces are there in my table.

    Here my question is, how can i trim the spaces in the last column of the text file?

  • What is the data type of the destination column?

    Can you be a bit clearer with your example? Are you saying that

    'End of shift'

    is being saved as

    'End of shift '

    ?

  • Its varchar data type.

    There are the spaces in the flat file itself. I need to remove the space while inserting into the table. Usually, the text files are generated by reporting person.

  • "...spaces in the flat file itself..." I do not understand exactly what you mean. You did not answer my question about 'End of Shift'. Please provide accurate sample data.

  • Double click on file connetion manager. click on columns.

    Check the row delimiter = {CR}{LF}

    and column delimiter = Comma(,) --- Looks like already exists.

    Also check the field in General tab.

    If didnt work then re-create the file. 🙂
