Delimiter: While retrieving the contents from the file, it uses a delimiter character to split the files into string objects.
Credential: When the file is located on a different domain or in Workgroup, you can use the credentials of the file of that location to retrieve its contents.
Force parameter overrides the read-only attribute of the file or creates a directory to complete a file path.
Force: Retrieves the contents from the file which is restricted by any settings except security permissions.
It is also a path qualifier and you can use the wildcard character (*) for this parameter.
Filter: The filter parameter is more efficient than include or exclude.
For example, D:\Temp\* where (*) specifies the contents of the directory. When you use –Exclude parameter then you need to provide content of the item.
Exclude: Exclude parameter is path qualifier means it excludes all the items which are specified from that path.
For example, D:\temp\* where (*) specifies the contents of the directory. When you use –Include parameter then you need to provide content of the item.
Include: Include parameter is path qualifier means it includes all the items from that path.
Tail: Specifies the total number of lines to display from the end of the file.
The default value is -1, which means all the lines will be displayed. If you set the value 10, it will display 10 lines only.
TotalCount: Specifies the total number of lines to display from the beginning.
The more the read count value is, the more time it will take to reach the first line but overall operation time decreases. This parameter doesn’t change the content it displays but it does affect the time to display the content. If you set the value to 0 then it sends the whole content at a time. The Default value is 1 means it sends one line at a time.
Read Count: Specifies the number of lines of the content sent through the pipeline at a time.
You can provide one or more paths of the files but not the directories. Hadoop, Data Science, Statistics & others
