You can construct a field act as output filename based on Country field. Sent the new constructed field as output filenames in "Text File Output" step.

See the flow screenshot below :

    I have been attempting splitting the results of a pentaho transform into multiple files based on the value of a specific field without any luck.

    E.g. a result set containing the following:

    SURNAME, FIRSTNAME, COUNTRY

    Obama, Barack, USA

    Cameron, David, UK

    Blair, Tony, UK

    Would result in 2 output files being created:

    USA.txt - containing Obama's details and UK.txt - containing the other 2 rows

    Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
