Delimited Text File Reader Task

Use the Delimited Text File Reader Task to define the structure of a delimited text file that is parsed at runtime.

A delimited file is made up of fields separated by delimiters. Each piece of data in a delimited text file appears in a specific order in a field of exactly the size needed for the content.

To make the contents of the text file mappable, the structure of the text file must be described as an XML Schema. This means it must be possible to express the text file format as a tree consisting of related text file fragments.
