[Servingxml-help] String not Char record delimiter in flat file

[<pa...@bl...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to read a flat file with ServingXml 0.8.1 that has  
multi-line records but the begin of a new record is marked by a  
multi-char string such as "====>".

First of all, although documentation states that all of start, end  
attributes of sx:recordDelimiter are optional

     <sx:recordDelimiter start="====&gt;"/>

gives:
Error in element sx:recordDelimiter.  The attribute "end" is required

but I guess the basic problem is that the values of start and end  
actually are characters that terminate/start a record not a string?  
Because the outcome when running the pipeline with this is more than  
strange, way too many empty records.

So how can I then have a record delimiter that is not a simple \n\r  
which does not work in this case?


Thanks, Peter
