SSIS : passing column delimiter from a variable

  • I am building a generic SSIS where it takes a text source file and converts to a destination source file . However in the process I want to set the row delimiter and the column delimiter dynamically through the package variable. So that I can use it for any file transfer.

    I saw the option for row delimiter in the file connection string property but did not see any column delimiter option.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • In SSIS, the column delimiter is actually per column, which is why you don't see a property for it.

  • So I do I get around it any idea?

  • Use a script component for the source and pass in the variable containing the delimiter
