In Elixir Data Designer the data from a text file can be accessed using the Text DataSource.

The tool provides encoding support, which includes multi-lingual formats, so text data sources which are encoded in different formats can be added. Also, text data sources with fields having different date, time and timestamp formats can be added.

A Text DataSource can be created simply by right-clicking on an CSV file on the repository and select “Define as a Text DataSource”.

In addition to straightforward field-based access, regular expressions are supported to give power users very flexible filtering and extraction options.
