CSV Input Format From-Entity Syntax

<from-entity>

::=

<filename> [ , <filename> ... ] | http://<url> | STDIN

The <from-entity> specified in queries using the CSV input format is either:

• A comma-separated list of paths of CSV files, eventually including wildcards;
• The URL of a file in the CSV format;
• The "STDIN" keyword, which specifies that the input data is available from the input stream (commonly used when piping command executions).

Examples:

FROM LogFiles1\*.csv, LogFiles2\*.csv, \\MyServer\FileShare\*.csv

FROM http://www.microsoft.adatum.com/MyCSVFiles/example.csv

type data.csv | LogParser "SELECT * FROM STDIN" -i:CSV
