SQL Server :: Escape A Comma "," When Reading From A .csv File

Jul 30, 2010

I have data that I am trying to read in from a .csv file. Some of my fields however have their own commas. For instance my file may look like:

Name, City, Country

And my data may have:

Walmart, New York, USA

"My store, and more", New York, USA

If you look at the second row of my data you will notice the first field has a comma in it: "My Store, and more".

It is surrounded by double quotes to distinguish that the field includes the comma, but when I read it into a table in MSSQL it splits that field into two. How do I tell MSSQL to leave everything in the double quotes as one field?

VS 2010 - Reading A File From Server

Nov 22, 2013

I am trying to read a text file from the root of the server. This is what I tried

Code:
Dim sr As StreamReader
Try
sr = File.OpenText("~ est.txt")
Label1.Text = sr.ReadToEnd
Catch ex As Exception
Label1.Text = ex.Message
End Try

If I test this locally, I get the error: "Could not find a part of the path 'C:Program Files (x86)Common FilesMicrosoft SharedDevServer10.est.txt'."If I upload it and run the code on the server, nothing happens (Lable1.text does not change).

SQL Server :: Reading File Csv And Inserting Into SqlCE Performance Improvement?

Dec 15, 2010

NOTE: Code and names simplified for post. Elimination of try catch and other best practices also limited for post.

I have a simple SqlCE database one table consisting of 4 columns (specialvalue, name, state)

I am using a streamreader from a file.txt that contains 3000 lines of csv data, looping the below.

s[] = {id,name,specialvalue,state) //(SAMPLE DATA-displaying names)
while(!sr.EndOfStream)
{

[Code]....

This code works as expected but I would like to increase the performance since it takes over 30 sec to complete. I will be moving to a stored procedure later but would like to find out how to optimize the current code. This is more for experience than anything. It is a project that I am working on for codeplex.

Reading An Embedded File From A Custom Server Control An Rendering It?

Mar 31, 2010

I currently have a file "abc.htm" in my Custom Server Control Project and it's Build Action is set to Embedded Resource.Now in the RenderContents(HtmlTextWriter output) method, I need to read that file and render it on the website.I am trying the following but it's to no avail:

protected override void RenderContents(HtmlTextWriter output)
{
var providersURL = Page.ClientScript.GetWebResourceUrl(typeof (OpenIDSel), "OpenIDSelector.Providers.htm");
var fi = new FileInfo(providersURL); // <- exception here
//the remaining code is to possibly render the file
}

This is an example of how the providersURL is:

/WebResource.axd?d=kyU2OiYu6lwshLH4pRUCUmG-pzI4xDC1ii9u032IPWwUzMsFzFHzL3veInwslz8Y0&t=634056587753507131

WCF / ASMX :: Add Service Reference Reading Svc File But Not Reading Service?

I was trying to go through this tutorial:

[URL]

but when I tried to add the service reference to the silverlight app, the Add Service Reference window would show me that there was a service file, but the node wouldn't expand to show the rest of the files that contain the services and what not. I got this error instead:

"An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately."

"Parser Error Message:There is no service behavior named 'AdventureWorks_WebServer.Service1Behavior'."

"Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'http://localhost:55579/Service1.svc'.

The server did not provide a meaningful reply; this might be caused by a contract mismatch, a premature session shutdown or an internal server error.

If the service is defined in the current solution, try building the solution and adding the service reference again."

Reading Txt File And Modify Content To A Output File?

Jan 5, 2011

I would like to find a way to read a txt file (in my case delimited by €). I need to change the order of the columns and also add and remove some columns. My output file should be a txt file delmited by ;.

I tried Jet.OLEDB to read the file and put it into a datatable and then used a stringBuilder and streamwriter to get an output file in .txt format. However. This does not me since IŽ, reading the txt file from start to end and my output will be the same. It does not seem like I can have a custom sql statement when reading the file. The only query that works is

Dim da As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter("Select * from 1.txt", TextConn)

How can I possible modify a txt file?

This is my code for now:

Best Method To Attach Or Import Data From A Comma Delimited File To Access?

Nov 15, 2010

I have a project I am working that requires me to go to an FTP port and copy a file to the local machine... so far so good... the next step is to take the comma delimited file and import the records (rows) into a local Access database...

Should I be looking the Attach method in Access? To attach and dump all the data in one shot?

OR To open the file with StremRead and process each row one at a time?

I am using VS2008, C#, .NET 3.5, Access 2007... once in production there could 20 - 30 thousand records to be appended to the DB then normalised.

DataSource Controls :: Importing A Comma Separated File And Escaping Apostrophes?

May 28, 2010

I am importing a comma seperated, single quote delimited file based off of client specifications. The only problem is now the client is sending apostophes in the file and is throwing off the single quote delimiter.

For Example:

'FirstName','LastName'
'John','O'Grady'

I need to figure out somehow to escape or replace that character before it goes into my OLE dataset import and then handle it before it hits my SQL table. Here is my current process flow:

Save the file to the App_Data using a FileUpload control Build a schema.ini for the ' delimeter Import into a dataset using Microsoft Jet OLE Use a for loop to pick out the fields that I need and build an insert into SQL I was trying to replace the ' with an underscore but then ended up replacing the whole file instead of just the one in the name.
