Fixedlength but no new line character

[hailspring]

Hello Everyone,

I was on a break so it is been a long time. I am sure someone already might have had this question and it would have got answered but couldnt find anything relevant after searching the forum for few minutes.

Here is a sample of my file:

xxxxxxxxxx yyyyyyyyyy zzzzzzzzzz aaaaa
aaaaa

I know it is wierd. The length of each record is 10 characters (as denoted above with repeated alphabets. They continuously appear in the file, there is no new line character. I have to read 10 characters (fixed length) at a time as a single record and process it and then continue with the next set of 10 characters.

I am sure there has to be some setting that would let me do it. Can someone help me out here?

Thanks!!

Spring Batch 2.1 has the BufferedReaderFactory strategy as an configuration extension for FlatFileItemReader (http://static.springsource.org/sprin...erFactory.html). Before 2.1 you have to write your own FlatFileItemReader.

So on this 10 char record length file, what might the Reader config (in xml) look like?

Thanks.
