Apr 21, 2007I have text output files which are semi-structured.(Headers + irregular length tables below)
Is there a simple method of getting them into sql format(line by line) to try and extract data from them?
I know this won't be easy but its been worrying me for a long time. I have a method of importing the data into excel, but although difficult, it must be possible to get a system to get it into sql server. This must be a fairly common issue.

Reading Data From Text File Database
Jun 6, 2007Hi everyone I have a directory that contains a lot of text files that have data I need to draw from. I want to know if it is possible to write a program that will read all of the text files in the directory and pull out data and save it to a new textfile. For example: Each text file is formatted this wayColumn1, Column2, Column3"1","xxxx","yyyy""2", "xxxx", "yyyy""3", "XXXX", "yyyy" I want to put all lines that begin with 1 in one text file, all the lines that begin with two in another text file, and the same with all lines that begin with 3. my problem is I want to be able to point at the folder that contains those files and have it read every text file in the folder and perform the operation. If this is possible can someone point me in the right direction on how to get started.Thank you for any help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
View 1 Replies View RelatedOutput And Reading Data From A Text File??
Sep 1, 1999Hi,
How would I be able to query a table (ie. all people with last name 'Smith'), have that set of data outputted to a regular text file (in a formatted way)
And what's the best way to manipulate that set of data to let's say update a Yes/No field in that table to mark that that those individuals('Smith') which were outputted in that text file?
What about the reverse? If I got a regular text file with Last Name, Social Security(delimited by tab), etc is there a way I can get SQL Server to read that text file and make an update to the database based on the Social security in that text file.
Any help would be immensely appreciated!

NULL Values Returned When Reading Values From A Text File Using Data Reader.
Feb 23, 2007I have a DTSX package which reads values from a fixed-length text file using a data reader and writes some of the column values from the file to an Oracle table. We have used this DTSX several times without incident but recently the process started inserting NULL values for some of the columns when there was a valid value in the source file. If we extract some of the rows from the source file into a smaller file (i.e 10 rows which incorrectly returned NULLs) and run them through the same package they write the correct values to the table, but running the complete file again results in the NULL values error. As well, if we rerun the same file multiple times the incidence of NULL values varies slightly and does not always seem to impact the same rows. I tried outputting data to a log file to see if I can determine what happens and no error messages are returned but it seems to be the case that the NULL values occur after pulling in the data via a Data Reader. Has anyone seen anything like this before or does anyone have a suggestion on how to try and get some additional debugging information around this error?

Reading In An XML File From A URL
Oct 17, 2006Hi
I have a problem with SSIS in that I need to read an XML file in from a URL,which brings me back the below XML. What I need to be able to do is essentially create a single record, including the nested XML <image> into the same record. This information then needs to be entered into a database table.
What I found is that if I use a data flow component, and have an XML source pointing to this URL, it essentially creates a different output for every level of nesting. This causes me serious issues because I would then have to somehow get to the information in the <image> tag, and then get everything below that, etc, to be able to get the images related to each <stock> record. This is a pain.
I also looked at using an XML task, where I could use an XSLT to transform to the required output, however, I can't point this XML task to a URL to retrieve the XML.
If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it
Thanks
Darrell

ASP.NET: Reading A CSV File With C#
Jan 22, 2008I am trying to read from a datasource that is a CSV file using C#, but for some reason I keep getting an error that says:
System.Exception: System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException: Syntax error in FROM clause.
My code looks like this:
String sql = " SELECT IDnumber FROM report.csv WHERE username = @Username ";
ArrayList parameters = new ArrayList();
parameters.Add(new OleDbParameter("@Username", Username));
DataTable dt = OleDbUtility.getDataTable(sql, parameters, OleDbUtility.GetCNetIDConnectionString());
It worked with an Excel file, so any ideas on this one?
It seems like the connection string is fine...
Reading A File Name That Changes
Mar 13, 2007Brand new to SSIS so bear with me, if something is obvious.
I want to be able to read a file from a certain directory. But the file name changes every day. So today its File20061203 tomorrow File20061304 or the next day it could be FileNB4434. The format in the file will always be the same though. I just want for a user to be able to drop a file in a directory and the package pick it up once a day.
Would I have to to create a script task or could I use a variable. I have been trying to use the variable but have not been able to get them to work. This calls for only looking for 1 text file in a folder but any additional links that show some good variable examples would be appreciated. One where only part of the variable changes File(Variable)Division.txt
Thanks in advance

Finding Changes By Reading The Log File
May 27, 2008
When importing data from a source server it is useful to know which rows have changed since the last import. Is there a good way to get this information from the SQL Server log files? Does "dbcc log" provide this function, for example? Is this something that is done a lot or would it be considered a kludge?
Thanks,

Dec 12, 2006I get the following error when reading a flat file : [Credit Information 1 [1]] Error: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "AccountName" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.".
I did check all the mappings, and everything seems to be fine, the field is read in as a string. I also check for any strange characters that can possibly cause this error but the value of the field only contains a person's name and spaces at the end.
Does anyone have any ideas what might be the cause of the error?

Reading File Content Using SSIS
Mar 5, 2007Hi,
I have a requirement where I should be reading the file (I will use File system Task for this) and the header content. I should be able to read the header, validate and when the validation succeeds , I should start process the rest of the file.
To elaborate this further, take a sample Example. Assume that the header will have the date information. In a given folder I should read the file, will check the date (header being the first line of the file). If it matches the current date, I will start processing and on completion I will archive my files.
Can someone help me on this sample. Thanks

Reading File As One String, Then Parsing - How To Do This?
May 7, 2007Hi,
The suggestion to do this is buried deep in one of my posts, however I still do not have a clear idea of how to do this.
I have a flat file which has several "bad rows" in it. Because file error redirection is buggy, I need a manual approach to get rid of these incomplete rows in my data file.
Phil, you suggested I read the file as one long string, then parse out the bad rows (using a script?).... however I have no idea as to how to actually do this.
I was wondering if it's possible to clarify the steps involved in doing this, or perhaps point me to an example I can look at, as I cannot seem to get around this problem on my own.
Thanks much!!
