Import A Pipe Delimited File (#) Into Access
Mar 5, 2009
Now i'm coding for a project in VB.net that allow user to browse to text files (i am done), after that i have to import this text file into access.
The problem i have to import a pipe delimited file (it is: #), that '#' help to distinguish each filed.
Example: my text file is: #BC2323#23241#12345. This mean that: There are 3 fileds in it: BC2323; 23241; 12345.
There is my coding for browse any text file:
Private Sub btnBrowse_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnBrowse.Click
Dim alltext, lineoftext As String
OpenFileDialog1.Filter = "Text files (*.txt)|*.TXT"

So i'm new to working with vba in access and i'm having trouble getting this code to work. What it is suppose to do is take a selected text file and read the original file into a list box. Then there is a second button that when pressed will convert the text file from a pipe delimited file into a tab delimited file and then show the changed file into a new listbox.
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Function GetFilenameFromPath(ByVal strPath As String) As String

Currently I am building an application that will do Data Validation on an Excel Spreadsheet.The application will allow a user to load an Excel Spreadsheet in and runs checks on the data. The application needs to export the spreadsheet as a pipe delimited file with all of the fields separated by the character.Currently I have written an Excel Macro that will export it as a Text File then delimit it and save the text file as a .ps1 file. I cant seem to figure out how to write this same code in VB instead of VBA.I am currently using Visual Studio 2010.Here is the code for my Macros that work fine but I need it in the application and not on the spreadsheet.

I used to just code up a module that looked like this Ref to MS Access 11.0 Obj Lib was set
Dim myaccess as New Access.Application
myAccess = CreateObject("Access.Application")
myAccess.Visible = false
myAccess.OpenCurrentDatabase("c:\path\databaseName.mdb")
But now it seems that even with that ref included, none of these commands exist. From what I've been reading online, to do this via .net, you have to parse the file out and create a serious of SQL inserts. I'm assuming/hoping/praying that there is a more efficient way to do this...

I am just trying figure out a record import program from text file into access database using Microsoft.Jet.Oledb Provider 4.0 and Vb.net. And it seems easy but my problem is different. In the text file, records are not delimited.
Format of the text file:
Field Name & Size
Date[Date,ShortDate]FirstName[20]LastName[20]Sex[1]Age[2]
[Code]....
Can I put delimiter programmatically while reading the text file using stream reader and later simply import the whole file in DB.

I have to import a tab delimited file into Excel and export it back out to correct a formatting issue caused by FoxPro. I need to pad a column with 10, Zeros and that is good with this here: objxl.columns("B:B").numberformat="0000000000". However I have 2 cells in the sheet, row 1B and 2B that I want to exclude from the number format above. Because it is a date field and it writes to that same column so it pads my date. I do have a need to Pad that date field with mmddyyyy so I have to pad it 8 - zeros.

I have a VB project that reads data from SQL as well as pulls data from other files into SQL. I need to import a text file into SQL table; there is no headers in the file and table in SQL is already exists. I found a code in Forum and slightly modified it, but I'm still missing something. I'm not sure how to specify that the text file is delimited with "|" character? Also - since there is no headers - not sure how to import it into correct columns? On the code below I'm getting "Insert" syntax error; on prior version of the code I was getting "field F1 doesn't exist".

I'm trying to import a tab delimited file into a table.The issue is, SOMETIMES, the file will include an awkward record that has two "null values" and causes my program to throw a "unexpected end of file".For example, each record will have 20 fields. But the last record will have only two fields (two null values), and hence, unexpected EOF.
Currently I'm using a StreamReader. I've tried counting the lines and telling bcp to stop reading before the "phantom nulls", but StreamReader gets an incorrect count of lines due to the "phantom nulls".I've tried the following code to get rid of all bogus code (code borrowed off the net). But it just replaces the fields with empty spaces (I'd like the result of no line left behind).
Public Sub RemoveBlankRowsFromCVSFile2(ByVal filepath As String)
If filepath = DBNull.Value.ToString() Or filepath.Length = 0 Then Throw New ArgumentNullException("filepath")
If (File.Exists(filepath) = False) Then Throw New FileNotFoundException("Could not find CSV file.", filepath)
[code]....
I've tried using SSIS, but it encounters the EOF unexpected error.

So I've been using VS2010 and haven't had too many problems transitioning over but I have an issue at the moment and I can't seem to find the answer...I have been using a little piece of code to insert comma delimited files to a database, which works great.Today, I received a Tab Delimited file from a client....obv I could edit, replace tabs with commas and move on but I want to know the right way to do this so I feel accomplished I've tried two ways so far1. This is the code I use for comma delimited with a slight change for the tabs -- PF refers to a class module that has the functions I use to get files and parse file paths
Dim Conn as New ADODB.RecordSet
PF.InputFile = PF.GetFile("Select LMR Demo File", "")
conn.Execute("SELECT * INTO [tmp_lmr] FROM [Text;Database=" & PF.InitLoc &

Just trying to get EXIF information using ImageMagick. If I set the variable command to:-
"C:Program FilesImageMagick-6.6.2-Q16identify.exe" -ping -format "%[exif:*]" "C:est.jpg" >c:exif.out
And then:-
Shell(command, AppWinStyle.Hide, True)
I don't get an exit.out file. There's a delay so it's clearly doing it. Obviously the same line from an actual command prompt does work! And I get an exif.out file... Any idea how I can shell that command off and get an output file?

I am trying to import a text file to an access database in VB2008 express. The text file I am testing with is a csv file with 34,000 records. The problem is this takes 2 minutes to read through all this and write it to the database. The actual text file I will be using in production has over 800,000 records and this will take a ridiculous amount of time. I think I am doing something wrong. I have posted my code below. I am reading a record, parsing out the fields to an array, then creating an SQL statement to insert the record and executing it.
reader = New IO.StreamReader(fname)
Do While reader.Peek() >= 0
linesread = linesread + 1

I'm using the following code to import data from a text file into an existing Access table:
Code:
Imports System.Data.OleDb
Public Class Carrega_CSV
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
[Code]....
The first time i ran the code, it caused no error but no records where loaded into the table. The second time it causes the OleDbException "Table 'TEMP' already exists." The text file is comma delimited and it has exactly the same number of columns of the TEMP table.

Current S/W Access 2010 and Windows 7 (all up to date) also using VS2008 When I was using Access 2003 & 2007 the following VB.Net code line worked fine:
dbs.Execute("SELECT * INTO TrialBOYTbl FROM [Text;FMT=CSVDelimited;HDR=Yes;DATABASE=" & myPath & ";].[TrialBOYDtl#csv];")
But when I use Access 2010 the first data record is missing in every file that I upload - there are no other errors.The SCHEMA.INI file is:
[TrialBOYDtl.csv]
ColNameHeader = True
Format=CSVDelimited
MaxScanRows = 25
[code]...
NOTE: This code line is executed in VB.Net (Interop) in conjunction with Access Automation. Therefore, I believe that I must use DAO
as that is how MS Access is based.My guess is "[Text;FMT=CSVDelimited;HDR=Yes;DATABASE=" looks like an ADO (not DAO???) Extended Properties specification which worked fine until Access 2010.
