                                            | Hi guys,I wanted to take time to appreciate your efforts for helping other people. I used to browse for some help in SSIS. However this time I have a situation where in I am clueless on how to achieve this.I have a source data with 4 columns. I want to save the data to a flat file destination after transformations.My source data looks like belowLight_wave  1250  West 2012-07-14Princeton9  350  East  2012-06-25Lewis3-ville  745  Mid-west  2012-05-29Cannon dr  850  West  2012-07-04I wanted to error out the rows whose column 1 values has a number in it. I am fine with _ and - though. Since princeton9 has number in the name, i want to capture it during the tranformation process. So after the transformation phase, I want rows 1 and 4 sent to my flat file destination and want rows 2 and 3 in my error output captured to another flat file.I am searching all over the place but couldnt figure out a way to achieve it. Any help would be appreciated and thanks for your time. |
