Plaintext Adapter

The Plaintext adapter splits input into an array of strings. It is primarily used as a foundation for processing fixed-length or positional text.

Options

separator (string | RegExp): The line separator (defaults to /\r?\n/ for parsing and \n for serialization). Can also be passed as the first positional parameter: plaintext(";").

Data Structure

When parsing, it produces an object with a rows array of raw strings.

morphql

from plaintext to object
transform
  section multiple lines (
    set content = source
  ) from rows

TIP

For a detailed walkthrough on how to parse and encode fixed-length data using this adapter, see the Working with Positional Text guide.
