I'm in the process of importing a series of flat files into SQL Server. I'm using a ~ to separate the columns and the row delimiter is {CR}{LF}. One of the files has a field that contains the CRLF combination in a few places so that field is split over several rows. This is readily visible when I look at the flat file. However, when I'm importing the file, the Import and Export wizard seems to ignore them and import the files as they should with one row per record.
Hi, for some AP issue, the file I upload must be without the line feed/carriage return in the last line. for example:
original fixed-length file (exported from SSIS) line NO DATA 1 AA123456 50 60 2 BB123456 30 40 3 CC123456 80 90 4 <-- with line feed/carriage return in the last line
The file format that AP request. The file only has 3 records, so it should end in the third line. line NO DATA 1 AA123456 50 60 2 BB123456 30 40 3 CC123456 80 90
Should I use script component to do it ? I am new for VB . Anyone would help me ?
I am trying to write a user defined function that will allow me tostrip off the last carriage return and line feed from a text field.We have address fields stored in a text field for our ERP system andsome of them have an extra carriage return and line feed at the end ofthem. This causes havoc when we sync between our ERP system and CRMsystem. If anyone knows a way to solve this problem the help would beappreciated.Examples:Existing Text field with CR:1234 Blah Street<CR>Suite 2345<CR>Corrected Text field:1234 Blah Street<CR>Suitr 2345
We're using this statement to import some values into a database: SQLStatement = "INSERT MyTable (ID, VALUE) VALUES ('" & IDString & "', '" & VALUEString & "')"
The problem is that the strings might contain carriage returns/line feeds, i.e. VALUEString = "Line 1." & vbCrLf & "Line 2."
It only imports up until the first vbCrLf. We have tried replacing vbCrLf with "", but this doesn't work either. What is the correct format for inserting a value that contains new line characters?
That's how it looks when you click on the results of a small subset of the query. Just what I want. Unfortunately when you try to right click and save it you get
Note that the third column in the third line is also qualified by quotes whereas the previous two are not. I think this is because of Excel formatting. Is there any way to import this file correctly?
My main problem is that I never know whether a column will be qualified or not because this depends on the value. I need to loop through and import many of these files so a manual workaround is not a option for me.
I'm using quite odd combination of technology for my project, I'm using PHP and MSSQL 2000, at one certain page, I want to insert to a table where one of the column is TEXT data type, and I want to get the value from the TEXTAREA at the page, of course, with carriage return captured, I manage to get it done in MySQL, where it automatically store the carriage return keyed in by user at the TEXTAREA, while for MSSQL I no luck in finding solution for this, is there any settings I can set or I need to convert the carriage return keystroke to HTML tag at my PHP?
I have created the following trigger:CREATE TRIGGER [CreateFile] ON OutputTableFOR INSERTASDeclare @filename nvarchar(35)Declare @filecontents nvarchar(2000)Declare @strcmdshell varchar(150)SELECT @filecontents = OutputText FROM INSERTEDSELECT @filename = 'c:' + OutputFileName FROM INSERTEDSELECT @strcmdshell = 'echo '+ @filecontents+ ' >'+ @filenameexec master..xp_cmdshell @strcmdshellIt works fine as long as the column OutputText has no carriagereturns.I have used my Access2K front end to dump about ten lines of text intoOutputText, each line broken by vbcrlf so that OutputText looks like:line1testline2textline3textetc.The trigger won't fire with this text.Is there something I can do to remedy this?lq
how can i insert a carriage return when i update the field?
say i want to put the following inside a field: firstline secondline
how can i update/insert a column to have a return carriage inside it? UPDATE table SET column = 'firstline secondline'
the reason i want this is because when using a program (Solomon, by microsoft, purchasing software) to grab a field out of the database and when it displays that field in the programs textbox, i want it to be displayed on two separate lines
i tried doing UPDATE table SET column = 'firstline' + char(13) 'secondline'
but when in the solomon program, it displays an ascii character between firstline and secondline like: firstline||secondline
I am working on an "invoice" print, and it has to be on a pre-printed form, I need to print the totals at the bottom of the page and need help figuring out how to add specific amount of line feeds. I tried printing chr(13) , chr(10), conbination of both, also tried Environment.NewLine, no luck.
Using SQLRS2000, developing report with VS2003.
Anyone's suggestions would be greatly appreciated!.
I have a CSV file that I am importing via SSIS into a SQL table.On the Flat File connector, I have specified Line Feed as the row delimiter.The data flow is failing due to some of the rows having line feeds before the end of the row.Is there a way to get rid of some line feeds but not others, so that I can run the data flow successfully.
While retrieving user input from an input control, eg: multi-line textbox, and inserting it into the database, the carriage return or the 'Enter' key is not getting inserting into the database.. instead it inserts a quad ( square ) in the database.. also the text typed after the 'Enter' key is not getting inserted into the database.. please help.

I have a string with multiple carriage returns in it. I need to removethe second carriage return but leave all the rest. Anyone know of afunction that will do this?I've come up with this:/***********************************************/DECLARE @MyString varchar(100)SET @MyString='Line one.Line two.Line three.Line four.'SELECT @MyStringSELECT @MyString = LEFT(@MyString, CHARINDEX(CHAR(13), @MyString,CHARINDEX(CHAR(13), @MyString, 0)+1)-1)+ RIGHT(@MyString, LEN(@MyString)-(CHARINDEX(CHAR(13), @MyString,CHARINDEX(CHAR(13), @MyString, 0)+1)+1))SELECT @MyString/***********************************************/However, if there is a less convoluted way of doing this, I'd love toknow.
Hi All, I am experiencing problem to select text wich has carriage return in my search functionality.
I have two tables called @searchwordTable and @DataTable.
@searchWordTable will have search criteria words(data type is varchar) and @DataTable will titles(data type is ntext) need to be searched. Some of titles have carriage return,line feed and tab characters. I am preseting here script to reproduce my problem.
DECLARE @searchwordTable TABLE
(
searchword VARCHAR(MAX)
)
INSERT INTO @searchwordTable (searchword) VALUES('carriage long description')
DECLARE @DataTable TABLE
(
title ntext
)
INSERT INTO @DataTable (title) values('carriage long description'+char(13)+char(10)+'carriagelong')
SELECT * FROM @DataTable dTable,@searchwordTable srcWrdTable
WHERE '% ' + REPLACE(CAST(dTable.title AS VARCHAR(MAX)),char(13),'') + ' %' like '% ' + srcWrdTable.searchword + ' %'
I am expecting the above select statement should select title from @DataTable but not getting .I am not understanding what is going wrong with above select.
I am using BCP and one of the tables in my SQL contains a column of type nvarchar(500) - whose data are actually email messages such as:

When I open the datafile, it spans 6 separate lines - probably ending in carriage returns (not sure how to confirm this). Hence, I am having a problem importing it to my table. When I query the database, it appears as one line under that column - which is the way it should be.
How do i insert a carriage return at the end of an record that's being sent to a flat file? Currently, I get one long string, and would like for SSIS to put carriage returns at the end of each line.
How do I enable SQL Management Studio to allow me to directly copy text with carriage returns into a table?
I know that I can use the CHAR(13) statement when using T-SQL insert/update statements ('some text' + char(13) + 'some more text').
However when I copy text with carriage returns directly into a table column by right clicking the table, opening the table and editing the row directly, all text after the first carriage return vanishes. Only the text before the first carriage return is committed.
I've been looking for this online and on MSDN but no luck. I simply want to find all my CR in specific columns and later Replace them with a string (ie. --THIS-IS-A-CR--). The problem is I cannot even find/search CHAR(13) by using variations of the query below.
SELECT * FROM Incident WHERE (description LIKE '%CHAR(13)%') --I know this is incorrect
When I make a call to a stored procedure to update a record, the update does not happen. No error is thrown, there are just no rows updated. When I look at SQL Server Profiler, this is what I see: exec TTN_Update_RecurringIssueVehicle @RecurringIssueVehicleID='00962233-6EC3-42CE-ABBD-1851F1176D63',@RecurringIssueID='66FE821A-9881-4368-B975-5B04975C5E16',@RecurringIssueProblemID='ABED20CD-CB37-4491-903F-553555EEE47C',@MarketID=1,@VehicleNumber=268,@AddedDate=N'12/14/2006 3:30:00 PM',@AddedBy=12,@ResolvedDate=N'12/15/2006 10:19:45 AM',@ResolvedBy=12
It seems to be putting a carriage return in the middle of one of my date parameter values, and also seems to be putting those values in double quotes. If I try to run this in SQL Management Studio, it throws an error. If I take out the carriage return, and fix the quotes, it succeeds. Here is my VB.Net code:
<DataObjectMethod(DataObjectMethodType.Update)> _ Public Function Update_RecurringIssueVehicle( _ ByVal RecurringIssueVehicleID As Guid, _ ByVal RecurringIssueID As Guid, _ ByVal RecurringIssueProblemID As Guid, _ ByVal MarketID As Integer, _ ByVal VehicleNumber As Integer, _ ByVal AddedDate As DateTime, _ ByVal AddedBy As Integer, _ ByVal ResolvedDate As DateTime, _ ByVal ResolvedBy As Integer) As Integer dbCmd.CommandText = "TTN_Update_RecurringIssueVehicle" dbCmd.Parameters.Clear() dbCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@RecurringIssueVehicleID", RecurringIssueVehicleID) dbCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@RecurringIssueID", RecurringIssueID) If RecurringIssueProblemID <> Guid.Empty Then dbCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@RecurringIssueProblemID", RecurringIssueProblemID) dbCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@MarketID", MarketID) dbCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@VehicleNumber", VehicleNumber) dbCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@AddedDate", AddedDate.ToString()) dbCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@AddedBy", AddedBy) If ResolvedDate <> DateTime.MinValue Then dbCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ResolvedDate", ResolvedDate.ToString()) If ResolvedBy <> -1 Then dbCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ResolvedBy", ResolvedBy) Dim retVal As New SqlParameter("@RetVal", SqlDbType.Int) retVal.Direction = ParameterDirection.ReturnValue dbConn.Open() dbCmd.ExecuteNonQuery() dbConn.Close() Return CInt(retVal.Value) End Function
I have a stored proc that builds a character string from a number of rows returned from a select query. Is there anyway to insert a carriage return after I append the value of each row to the string variable?
Hi, I am having trouble removing what must be a carriage return or line feed from a report when exporting. The data in query builder looks like a square.
i am using this expression, but it is not working, and if you import the report into excel, there is a new line after this column.
We run 2014 enterprise. Can parts of the phrase that goes into a text box be forced to go to designated lines in that box? For instance if I have the phrase aaaaa bbbbb ccccc ddddd going into my text box , can I force a carriage return after each word (eg aaaaa) within the textbox?
where 'data' represents the data written out by the data flow process to the flat file destination. This actually turns out quite nice except that when I place the lines that start with '/' in the header box for the flat file destination the carriage return doesn't get written correctly after each line and I end up with an unrecognized character when I open the file in a simple app like notepad. I've tried using different encodings for the flat file connection, but to no avail. It is also interesting to note that when I close the package and reopen it the flat file destination editor UI also doesn't recognize the carriage returns and places a box in there place.
Below is a copy of the the property as it is written in the package xml:
<property id="92" name="Header" dataType="System.String" state="default" isArray="false" description="Specifies the text to write to the destination file before any data is written." typeConverter="" UITypeEditor="" containsID="false" expressionType="Notify">/INST=-1 /DELIMITER="," /FIELDS=FIELD1,FIELD2,FIELD3,FIELD4 /LOCATION=100</property>
