The author states in that write up that he had trouble separating the fixed-width data file (like so many governments produce).
I saw the need and had the Google Refine community add a great visual aid feature to help with aligning fixed-width data files (along with working with XML / RDFa / JSON etc and easily exporting to TSV, CSV, or whatever formats you need. (Much easier than wiring up jobs within Talend or creating load scripts in an unfamiliar language for non-programmers) My comment to the author: " Google Refine 2.5 release has a Great visual aid unlike some other tools (Excel) for importing and exporting fixed width data text files. I tried it on those same files and it allowed me to easily separate and created a delimited tabbed or comma separated value file. The new visual aid for this is only in the 2.5 RC release that can be downloaded here: http://code.google.com/p/google-refine/downloads/list " On Tue, Oct 18, 2011 at 10:47 AM, Marko Rodriguez <[email protected]>wrote: > Digging it up was the easy part :D.
