I am getting a response back from an HTTP request where ALL of the data, including the header, is in a single row/column. I would like to hear from the Community about how you would resolve this issue. I currently have a way to parse this data, but my solution is not the most elegant. I would like a single node that can parse and output the results of the data.

Please see the attached file for the Data.

IMHO, the HTTP node needs to have the option to return multiple records from the input - split at the newline character.

Hey, Larry,

So, it sounds like you are getting back a CSV file form an HTTP request, right? While I'm sure you are aware that a few Filters and an Output Delimited Node would do the trick, you are right that there should be a better answer. We will soon be releasing an "Output Raw" node that can take files stored as fields, such as the CSV in your example, and write them straight to disk. You can then read back in these files using our standard Acquisition nodes (CSV, Delimited, XML, Excel, etc.).

Hope that answers your question.
