How do you process an entire CSV file all at one time

[Manniac07]

The complete csv file arrives in source folder and I am using lua to load the entire csv into an array then I emit each cell that matches of each line that matches my criteria until EOF. The issue is that vector reprocesses the source csv file for every row in the csv file.

I have attempted to use multiline from BOF to EOF and it still processes line by line.

I have also tried to remove file using remove_after_secs and that didn't work either.

Hi @Manniac07 ,

I'm not sure I completely understand. Can you share your configuration?

yes @jszwedko

@jszwedko what it keeps doing is loading the whole file for every line instead of spinning through the table i made and going on to next file

[jszwedko]

Thanks! That behavior looks like what I would expect based on this configuration. The process hook runs on each incoming line.
