Question about the PatternMatchingCompositeLineMapper

[Yvory]

I use batch version 2.1.6

I have like 20 different records I have to read from one file in my job,

the problem is , that the record keys are not in the beginning but at 2 very specific columns in the record and they are numbers .

Can I tell the PatternMatcher that he needs to look at say char 6 and 7 and 15 for the key?

It looks like I can only use * without any number of how many chars it will be til the key starts.

Is that right? Do I need to write the code myself to have this functionality?

Thanks.

yours,
Yvi

Maybe your problem requires pattern matching at the level of the FielSetMapper then? It would be easy to write a PatternMatchingCompositeFieldSetMapper.
