spoon - merge two CSV using an ID

Question

I have two CSV, the first is like:

ID, name, surname
ABC//001, John, Doe

the second is like:

ID, mail, phone
001, john@doe.com, 001 001001

The problem is the ID, in the first file there is a string before the actual ID.

I tried with merge Join but (I think) this step require that the columns must be equals.

I use Kettle - Spoon Stable Release - 4.4.0

Answer 1

In the 2nd file input step, choose the type as String for column ID. It's working for me that way.
