TEXTLINE Input Format From-Entity Syntax

<from-entity>

::=

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

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

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

Examples:

FROM *.txt, \\MyServer\FileShare\*.tsv

FROM http://www.microsoft.adatum.com/example.tsv

type data.txt | LogParser "SELECT * FROM STDIN" -i:TEXTLINE
