Requirement of reading entire input text content (CSV, fixed-length) into a output field, can be achieved using 'File Content Conversion' OR 'MessageTransformBean' in sender channel and a UDF in message mapping.
Message mapping to concatenate all lines into a single line.
Create UDF with ‘Execution Type’ : ‘All Values of a Context’. If required change newline character (\r is carriage return, \n is line feed).
public void udf_Concat(String[] eachLine, ResultList outSingleLine, Container container) throws StreamTransformationException { String outS = ""; for (String line : eachLine) { outS = outS + line + "\r\n"; } outSingleLine.addValue(outS); }
FYI.
Above solution works for XML input also. But, better option is Copy XML Subtree
