Create a new File Collector

Before starting this exercise, you will need to download a pack of files. These are available here: train.zip

Save these to a convenient location on your local drive, and unzip. Throughout the course, these will be referred to as the input files.

A file containing details of customer addresses can be found in the input files, at:

…[unzipped location]\inputData\AddressCheck\custAddrFiles\input\custAddr_20090322_1.txt
Open this file and have a look at the data in it.
Notice, in particular, that there is a header line in the file with the column names of the data in the file.
Add a new file collector to your model to read this file into PhixFlow:

...

• Hover over the stream (the icon Image Modified on your model) CustomerAddresses
• In the hover menu press

...

• Hover over the stream – a hover menu appears
• Select the Image Removed the Image Added - Run Analysis - this will run the stream, and read in data from the file of customer addresses via the file collector
• You will get a confirmation message when this has completed - we will look at the console later

...

• Hover over the stream, and in the hover menu press Image Removed press Image Added - Show the list of Stream Views
• In the drop down list, select Default View
