How to read .OUT files?

Hi all,

I would like to read a .out File. Tried it with the upload option of separated values (as seen in screenshot) together with the "|" as separator but could not make it work. Did anyone try that before and can hint me in the correct direction?

Hi @Michael-Aringer ,

Can you share a line from your OUT file? It can be obfuscated. One thing you could try is to use the option one record per line and then use a prepare recipe with the "|" seperator and see if you can get better results.

Thanks,

Hi Alex, I used the prepare recipe together with splitting the values based on "|". Thank you for your input. Apparently, column names are stored in the first lines of .out files. So the creation of the proper names was a bit of a data wrangling, but I could make it work.

Thank you!
