The Column-Aligned Text (CAT) Reader allows FME to read files containing fixed width, column-aligned text.
Overview
CAT files are ASCII database files, where each row represents a feature within a dataset. Each column is a fixed width and represents an attribute or a geometry component for a feature or can be ignored.
Reader Overview
FME considers a single CAT file to be a dataset. Each dataset can contain multiple features where each row read represents a single feature. These features may or may not contain point geometry depending on whether fields have been flagged as X, Y and optionally Z coordinates.
