Read EDI X12 File and convert Using Talend Open St

问题:

I am new to EDI. I got some information about EDI from Here. I heard that Talend supports reading of EDI X12 files using some technique called Smooks. I downloaded Talend Open Studio for Data Integration v5.3.1. But I don't know how to Use it for reading EDI file

I got a EDI text from one site

I want to save this as a EDI file. What should be its extension? And is there any link for steps or demo for using Talend to read this file and parse it to some readable file like CSV or XML?

Thanks

Not many people seems to remark this, but Talend Open Studio for Data come with a default project called Demo project (see picture below).

This project contains tons of examples of how to use Talend. You should find everything there. Every job is very well documented, example :
