Transforming data using SSIS

  • Hello fellow professional. I am converting data from an Informix database to a SQL Server 2005 database using SSIS. It works beautifully with one minor detail. The Informix High Speed Unloader generates pipe delimited files and puts a pipe (|) on the end of each line as well. This pipe is getting loaded into the database along with the data. I would like to remove this last pipe prior to inserting the data into the database using my SSIS package. Can someone kindly guide me on how to accomplish this? Thank you.

  • So you are getting a file with pipe delimiters between fields and a CRLF for row delimiters.

    If you are getting an extra pipe at the end of the line, make the row delimiter {|}{CR}{LF} rather than {CR}{LF}.

  • Michael, that works perfect!

    Easy solution. Thank you very much.
