Get Text Changes

Description

Ever pushed out an updated data file and wondered whether it really carried any meaningful change before triggering your whole downstream pipeline?

Check Text Changes is your answer.

It sits in your Switch flow and does one thing brilliantly:

• it compares the text content of two files, a reference file and an asset and routes the incoming job based on whether differences were detected.
• it understands XML, JSON, and any other text-based format (CSV, TXT, YAML, …), producing a structured diff that downstream tools can act on.

Think of it as a very patient, very precise auditor.

It opens both files, inspects them down to the value, and tells you exactly what changed, where, and how ; ready for a mailer, a notification, a report, or a conditional downstream process.

In a nutshell

Check Text Changes compares a reference file against an asset (the job file, an external file, or a dataset attached to the job), computes a detailed diff when they differ, filters the diff by path if requested, and dispatches the job to the Success, Warning, or Error traffic-light output. A Log connection can also receive the detailed diff as an XML or JSON file.
