Is it possible to import delimited text files without an RDF? 
 
I believe that is what Mohamed was doing here using RDFCREATORLib, but I can't get it to work in IDEA script.

Hi Scott,

Sorry, I missed this one.  Have you upgraded to 10.4?  In 10.4 you can now create a basic RDF file for an import, it is still basic and I have made a request to expand this as it is a great option.  I haven't played with the RDFCREATORLib as it is not documented so it might be one of these hidden items that works but we just don't know about.  If I have a chance I will see if I can play around with it.

You need to upgrade :-).  I tried to access this object through IDEAScript and I couldn't get it to work.  The link you posted the person was calling the objects from a different language and I think that is how they were access it as I tried multiple different ways in IDEAScript with no success.  I didn't try it in Python but it might be callable from Python but you need at least 10.3 for that.  So I think your best option right now is to do an upgrade to 10.4 where you can create the rdf.
