Specifying Files On Windows

On Windows, make directory and file specifications in Enrichment control files as follows:

<tag> d:\dir1\K\dirn\filename

Where <tag> is the Enrichment control file tag or rule file language component that precedes the file specification:

  • To specify directories and files that include spaces in their names, enclose the entire directory and file name in quotes. You can use either single quotes (') or double quotes ("). Any tag that takes a file name as a parameter can have the name enclosed in quotation marks, even if there are no spaces in the directory or file name.
  • The drive specification (d: in the example above) is optional. If you omit the drive specification, your current drive is assumed.
  • The total size of all directory names and the file name can be up to 255 characters.
Note: On Windows, you can use pipes to point input data to different outputs without changing the control file.

If you do not begin the file specification with a backslash (\), Enrichment assumes the file specification is relative to your current directory. If you do begin the file specification with a backslash, Enrichment assumes the file specification is relative to the root directory.
