Reading data from your local system

To read files from your local system follow these steps:

Step 1: Follow the link in the yellow annotation to the data folder and download the files "file1.csv" and "file2.txt" to your local system. Drag the "CSV Reader" and "File Reader" nodes into the workflow.

Step 2: Click on the "CSV Reader"/"File Reader" node to open the configuration window. Under "Source", specify the file path. Click the yellow folder button to browse your files. Select "Local file system" to access data from your local system.

Step 3: After locating the file, you can define the file format. For example, you can specify to skip lines or whether the file has a column header. Click "Apply" to save the settings.
Tip: The "Autodetect format" button automatically guesses the file format.

Step 4: Execute the node to load the data into KNIME.

Note: The data files for this workflow are available in the data folder in "01 Read". Download file1.csv and file2.txt.
