How to search for a String inside a textfile Using Apache Camel

Question

I am new to Apache camel. Does anyone know how to use camel to process the content of a text file to check if a particular string e.g "error" is present within a text file. I cant seem to go past the first line below with java. Any help will be appreciated

 from("file://inputdir/").convertBodyTo(String.class).

Answer 1

Use bodyAs and contains. For example:

from("file://inputdir/")
    .choice()
        .when(bodyAs(String.class).contains("error"))
            .to(/* a route for errors */)
        .otherwise()
            .to(/* a route for non-errors */);
