You learn something new every day! :-)
I didn't realise that the file data source would do the splitting. I think it's usually always better to use the the in-built functionality rather than custom scripting, though I would be the first to admit that sometimes I'm guilty of resorting to Groovy too quickly.
An aside about the external libraries (appologies for going off topic a bit)...
groovyguy, regarding your comment about other users having to remember to add the libraries. In our environment Ready API is installed via pc management software, thus just get the software to add all the required jar file, so we luckily don't have to worry about that, but a very valid point none the less. Interstingly though this discussion has got me thinking about the issues/overheads of using external libraies and I've just spotting that Ready API actually installs a large number of the Apache Commons libraries into it's own lib directory, IgorG, is there an "official" SmartBear line about referencing the jars in the lib directory from user Groovy scripts? Do I need to go back and investigate if I need to bother to add them to my ext directory after all?
nmrao, thanks for the pointer to the "GroovyCSV" library I'll be sure to check it out. When looking for external libraries I tend to first look at the Apache Commons web site and stop there if something fits the bill, thus I know I do miss out on other alternative libraries.
bookmarked the link - thanks!
