Kindly advise how to do this…

Thanks in advance

Hello @muthu.m,

You can achieve this using ‘Merge Datatable’ activity. Read data from both the input files, pass on the Datatables to this acitivity to merge into one Datatable and then you can write the output Datatable in the output file.

Thanks for quick response.
Input file data format & Output file format are different. So how could i write data into the output file.

Thanks,

Hi,

If your output file is your only “constant” , i would do something like this

step 1 - read the output file template / create datatable w/ all the needed columns
step 2 - read file 1 to datatable1
step3 - for each row of datatable1 use activity assign (or multiple assign) to assign the columns to variables w/ column name
step4 - add dataRow with the array created by all the variables you need for your output_datatable

You could also skip the variables part in step3 and assign directly to the output datatable , but for starters try it like this.

There is faster way of doing it

It is case of similar to transposing of matrix ( as studied in mathematics )
