        We have a flat file with content is like below:

        >aaa bbb ccc

        < xxx yyy zzz

        We want to specify both “>” and “<” as the tag identifier, but unfortunately, seems Biztalk flat file schema does not support regexp such that only either “>” or “<” can be specified as tag identifier.

        Is my understanding wrong? Is Biztalk flat file schema tag identifier support regexp?

        Or other approaches can support multiple tag identifiers in Biztalk flat file schema?

        Thanks.

          Hi,

           The answer to your first questions is no: BizTalk flat file schema wizard does not support the use of regular expressions in specifying the tag identifier.

           The answer to your second question is yes: there are other approaches to work around this issue, see the following link to MSDN forum thread for one example:

          social.msdn.microsoft.com/…/flat-file-schema-wizard-to-break-up-multiline-instance-without-tag-identifier

            Good luck.
