Splitting a stream into two or more streams based on a condition


In this recipe, you will learn to use the Filter rows step in order to split a single stream into different smaller streams. In the There's more section, you will also see alternative and more efficient ways for doing the same thing in different scenarios.

Let's assume that you have a set of outdoor products in a text file, and you want to differentiate the tents from other kind of products, and also create a subclassification of the tents depending on their prices.

Let's see a sample of this data:

id_product,desc_product,price,category
1,"Swedish Firesteel - Army Model",19,"kitchen"
2,"Mountain House #10 Can Freeze-Dried Food",53,"kitchen"
3,"Lodge Logic L9OG3 Pre-Seasoned 10-1/2-Inch Round Griddle",14,"kitchen"
...

Getting ready

To run this recipe, you will need a text file named outdoorProducts.txt with information about outdoor products. The file contains information about the category and price of each product.
