title: Date format and data extract from Pentaho Kettle Spoon
body: <p>I am using Kettle Spoon for transformation.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>How do I give fixed input date from 'Get System Info'? I see options of selecting yesterday, month ago etc. But I want to select fixed date manually such as: '2012-12-14' </p></li>
  <li><p>I got an csv, 'text file output' from transformation. The outputs are for say A, B, C, D, E. I want to filter and get only A, B, D, E.
  How do I filter from 'text file output' and select only desired columns to get my data into final table.</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Thank you in advance.</p>
