Flatten An XML File To CSV Format?
Feb 4, 2010
how to flatten an XML file to CSV format. I have worked on this all day today, and although I've found some simple examples, my issue is slighlty different. Please see example below...
[code]...
Notice that the data node has several different structure of child node. Is it possible to write XSL to flatten this?Second question is it possible to write the XSL in a generic way so that it doesn't need to be aware of node names and therefore just works for any XML fed in?

Here's an example data table (the data are fake, but in the same format as my business data coming from an external system):
R1 Pears,Apples,Bananas 10
Oranges 5
R2 Apricots 15
[code]....
The data are in a string. Columns are tab-delimited, lines are CRLF-delimited. Output should be the same. Multiple values are comma-delimited.
Here's the "flattened" output desired:
R1 Pears 10
R1 Apples 10
R1 Bananas 10
[code]....
Each column is filled down where there are blanks, and columns with multiple values (comma-delimited) are duplicated and filled down in the other columns.Complicating assumption: the number of columns in the input is arbitrary.Simplifying assumption: only one column will be comma-delimited.I'm working through this with a relatively naive solution (loops and some recursion), but I'd love to see if this is a situation where LINQ or some other solution would be more appropriate.I'm working in VB.NET at the moment, but C# is fine too.
Public Shared Function FlattenPlainTextTable(ByVal InputTable As String) As String
Const RowDelimiter As String = vbCRLF
Const ColDelimiter As String = vbTab

I have been trying to flatten the columns header the same way as we do it with buttons using .FlatStyle = FlatStyle.Flat but have been unsuccessful.

I have the following object:
countDictionary As Dictionary(of Category, Dictionary(of Date, Integer))
The Class has a Enumeration Property. For the purposes of demonstration, I'll call it MasterCategory.I have been trying to get out an object that looks like the following:
groupedCountDictionary As Dictionary(of MasterCategory, Dictionary(of Date, Integer)
The best result I could get was:
Lookup(of MasterCategory, Dictionary(of Date, Integer))
From:
countDictionary.ToLookup(Function(o) o.Key.MasterCategory, Function(o) o.Value)
Which results in a IEnumerable (Of Dictionary(of Date, Integer)) for each MasterCategory value.However, I need that IEnumerable of Dictionary flattened to one dictionary with all the integers summed (total counts) for each date. I then tried to use various selects and group bys (from numerous stackoverflow posts) to "flatten" it, but my efforts have fallen short.
Current Code
[Category Class]
- MasterCategory As Enum
- Name As String etc

Dim fs2 As New FileStream("c: est.dat", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None)
Dim w As New BinaryWriter(fs2, Encoding.UTF8)

I've been asked to create a string slicing programme that will take data from a spreadsheet and output it to a delimited ASCII file. The data in the text file follows the structure as shown below:
<time:00:00:00:date:01/10/00:lat:52.34:long:28.30:wind:20:temp:-12recipitation:0.03:visibility:50>
The text file has about 7-8 rows off data following the same structure but with a few changes. So I want to remove the semi-colons from each row of data and format the text file so it has the correct columns on the first row and then the data below but with the long, lat removed etc. However I can't just remove all the semi colons as time uses them.[code]...

I am simply trying to do this for knowledge sake. I created a simple code that writes(append) to text file whatever the user enters in a text box and click a button.
I am just wondering if it is possible to format the data in the text file?
Example: Add a space between the data being entered every time?
Or draw a line between each set of entries?

I am moving all of the prgrams that I have written, to VS2008. However, I use Random Access File Foemat for the databases that have been used for over a decade. I need to be able to read and write to a Random access file.I have multiple fields in the database and cannot lose access to this information.VS2008 doesn't use the following type of code to define the Fields that will be used in the Database. I did what it suggested, using the Structure / End Structure, but that was as close to a solution that I could find in the Help Files.
Type EquipType
EquipName As String * 32

OK, for those that saw my previous one, this one is different than that, much different.The program I'm making is basically an offline, open source Po, which will allow for people to create their own Databases of Pon, even custom ones, without any hex editing as long as they use the program to create the files. developing a custom format for my program, the ".pid" format, which stands for "Pokex Information Data-File". Yes, I know it's for Poon, but it's a program I promised to end with, and I'm also kinda doing this for myself (Still being a fan of the game series.)w, the file format is done something like this:
