File reader x CSV reader node

KNIME Analytics Platform
1

Hello,

I am beginning on Knime and it seems to me that "File reader" nodo provides all that "CSV reader" functions. Morover, it is possible to visualize the data using File reader.

Always I am using "File reader", even to read CSV files.

Is there anything important to know about differences betweenn these nodes? Or could I just use "File reader" always?

Thanks,

Cadu

Yes, you can always use the File Reader to read arbitrary file formats; the CSV Reader is derived from it and can only read limited file formats.
