| Field                    | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Type**                 | Specify the file type. The values are **CSV** (default), **JSON**, and **Avro**. You must specify the correct File type that is associated with the **Storage source URL** field in the **Setup** tab.                                                                                                                                                              |
| **Leading rows to skip** | Specify how many rows of the `CSV` file to skip.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |
| **Delimiter**            | Specify the delimiter character used by the `CSV` file.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |
| **Quote character**      | Specify the escape (quote) character used for values that have the delimiter character in them. For example, when the delimiter character is a comma, and a field contains a comma, and the quote character is a backslash, inserting a backslash before the comma in the field will prevent that field from being evaluated as the beginning of a new field value. |

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.pentaho.com/pdia-data-integration/10.2-data-integration/pdi-job-entries-reference-overview/google-bigquery-loader/options-google-bigquery-loader/file-tab.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
