i want to take a comma delimited text file and then select all unique records based on one of the fields in the text file. should i read the text file into a data table or just use a data reader?
View 7 Replieswhat would be the easiest way to open a comma delimited text file - each field is surrounded by quotes - and then analyze this file to find the record with the most fields being used? right now i bring the file into and access db then loop through each record to see if there is any data.

I want to add the contents of a comma delimited text file(PracInfo.txt) into a Dictionary on Form_Load. The contents of the file are as follows:
wlvc,coadmin
mrmd,thadmin
ccoa,oaadmin
bfhl,bfadmin
trty,tradmin
nppp,npadmin
For example, I want the wlvc to be the key and the coadmin to be the corresponding value. The code I have so far goes as follows:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim sr As New StreamReader("C:Programming filesPracInfo.txt")
Dim openWith As New Dictionary(Of String, String)
Do While sr.Peek <> -1
strHold = sr.ReadLine()
' here I would like to use the String.Split method on strHold and then put that into the Dictionary using Dictionary.Add(Key,Value) but not sure how to do this????
Loop
End Sub
End Class
I have a text file, with several lines of comma delimited data. The easy part is that each item fits into the same field, so I can use a 2 dimensional array. I would like to use .net classes to do this, not the old file handling functions I was used to.How can I take the text file and load the data in the text file into a 2 dimensional array.Here is example data in test.txt
1,1,1,2,2,2,1,1,1,3,3,3,4,4
2,3,4,5,1,1,1,2,3,4,5,1,1,1
2,3,4,5,6,1,1,1,1,2,2,3,3,4
So this would go into a (14,3) array.I would like to make sure, that the array is automatically sized to the size of the data also.
how to make a text conversion like the below pic -
1. the textbox 1 is multiline with an array of comma delimited and tab delimited text.
2. the textbox 2 is one line textbox
3. A,B,C,D,E,F,G is where the position of each string before / after conversion

How to do this in vb.net
how to best go about this project. I have just been given the task of creating a program that will primarily be used to import and sum a excel or text file that is tab delimited. As a quick example the file would be in the following format:[URL]The problem is that I would need to store this information locally (unless you know better) because I need to be able to append information to this from a second (or third, fourth, etc...) file and re-sum it, lets say that this is the second excel file that I needed to sum:
[URL]
I would have to append the week5 and week6 columns and add the Neapolitan row to my summation. This program will then format the sums into a list of the different flavors and the sums of all products sold during the total weeks and output to a text file.I have informed my employer that it would be easiest to do this with a VB script in excel, however, they are adamant that they want this done in VB.NET with a GUI.
I need to dump a bunch of delimited data to Excel. In VB6 days, I would save the data to a text file, then use ExcelApp.ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add (blah blah blah...) to import the data to Excel (I got this code from recording a macro while manually importing a text file).In VB.NET (2005), QueryTables does not appear to be an option for ActiveSheet.I could take the long path and manually parse thru the data writing to individual cells - however if I could just import it, it would be much faster.Part of the issue is not being able to record a macro in Excel in .NET format.So my primary question is, how do I import a delimited text file in to Excel without having to manually parse the data into individual cells.Secondary question is any tips for not being able to have ready made examples (in VB .NET format) by recording a macro.

View 5 RepliesI recently asked a question about reading a file with Streamreader to variables arrays, but I made it more complicated than need be. Here is the simple version of what I am trying to do:
dim MyNumber(1) as String
strMyFile = 100,200 (I already have this)This is the result that I am trying to make happen:
MyNumber(0)=100
MyNumber(1) =200
I would also like the result to be MyNumber(0), MyNumber(1) as double, but I could do that in a later step. This is almost embarrassing to ask, because it is probably basic stuff.

View 8 RepliesI 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...
What is the best method to parse through a Comma Delimited .dat file? I am using VS2002 and VB. My code will be looking for certain placeholders within the files and pulling the value from that element to populate a table in SQL2000.Here is a sample of one row that is in the database so far:17768 01 1770 003 2009-11-01 00:00:00 5065.14 NULL NULLEach spaced section is taken from a part of the .dat file, but being manually keyed in for now. My job is to automate the reading of the file, and writing it to the SQL database.Here is a sample of the flat file I am trying to parse:
0001,00003470,091411," "
0002,1000,0037707839,0000304220,0000282256,00000387
0003,1000,006795,0004,00000000,0000,00000000,0000,00000000,0000
There are about 12-13 'records' in each flat file, each row being a record as the sample shows.
I am looking for a different kind of solution here. I have a database in which I have around 14 tables. I have to write the output of 14 seperate queries to each of these tables in to a comma delimited file. I know how to write it using direct read , loop through and write to text. What I am looking for is a more configurable solution. I should be able to configure my application if a new table/query needs to be outputed. I should also be able to configure the delimiter to use.(I am Ok with C# or VB.NET )
