Basically remove any line that start with a "#" or any blank lines..
I am assuming you can do this only using a script component and not directly through ssis..but i am not too familiar with scripting...so some code would be helpful
Thanks for any help in advance.

BCP Import With Blank Lines In Text File
Jan 4, 2007I am trying to bcp import a text file into a SQL Server 2000 database.The text file is coming out of a java application where orderinformation is written to the text file. Each record is on it's ownrow, so the last item in each record has a new line character at theend of it to create the next row. This works well in creating the filehowever bcp does not like to import this text file with the extra blankline at the end. If I change the new line character to the beginning ofthe records then there is a blank line at the top of the text file,which bcp also does not like. Does anyone have any suggestions for meto get around this issue?Thanks,
View 6 Replies View RelatedDropped Lines When NULL Ascii Value In Text File
Aug 11, 2006Hello,
SQL SERVER 2000:
My problem is that I have to process a special text file every day which contains 0 ASCII values to separate fields. The DTS import program drops everything after the ascii 0 value in the row, but of course I need the entire row with all fields.
So how can I prevent the text file import task from dropping everything after the 0 ascii value?
Could you help me in this?
thank you
Excel File Manipulation - Repeat First 7 Columns Based On Number Of Lines In Transaction
Jul 10, 2015I have a task where I need to process roughly 60000 excel spreadsheets and bring them into a SQL Server 2014 database. All excel files have the same format and same number of identical columns. I have set up an SSIS package that is using Foreach Loop Container to look into a folder and process these files one at a time and load them to a table. The mappings are straight-forward, no problems there.
I am attaching a sample spreadsheet with two tabs - current structure and desired structure.
Basically what I need to do is to repeat the first 7 columns based on the number of lines in a transaction.
The number of lines is variable per patient.

Does Full-text Search Could Count Words Occurrence Number
May 15, 2008Hello,
I use the full-text search utility in SQL Server 2005 to find word in PDFs document.
This is my 'Documents' table:
id (PK), data (VarBinary(max)), extension (nvarchar(4))
My full-text catalog on 'data' column works fine because when I search 'Microsoft', my document containing this word is returned as result.
SELECT * FROM Documents WHERE freetext([data], 'Microsoft');
1 | 0x255044.... | .pdf
But I need to know how many times 'Microsoft' word appears in this document.
Do you have any idea how can I retrieve this information?
Thanks in advance!
Putting The Row Count In The Header Of A Text File.
Feb 7, 2008Hello, I'm pretty new to SSIS but so far what I have is a package that exports a SQL Server table to a text file. I needed to add a dynamic header that had the date and time of creation. Now I need to know how many records are being exported and put that number into the header.
For the header I am using a script task in the control flow which works well to put the creation date in the header. The script runs and writes the header and then the data flow exports and appends the records to the same text file. It seems to me since the script runs before the data flow I won't know the amount of records until after the data flow is done.
Maybe I could write the header after the data is gathered but before it is exported. Can anyone make some suggestions?
Basically the text file would be:
2/6/2008
154
Data
Data
Data
...
the 154 would be the total number of records to follow.
While I'm at it can someone tell me how to access the destination file path in the flat file connection? Right now I'm just hardcoding the path into my script.
Thanks,
Gunner
Report With Constant Number Of Detail Lines
Nov 1, 2007I am developing a report analog of a machine readable form that has to display a static number of detail rows regardless of the number returned from the database - i.e. if a record set has only three detail records, I need to display three blank rows, while if the record set has ten detail records, I need to display six detail records, print the footer, start a new page, repeat the header information, print the remaining 4 detail records and 2 blank rows, print the footer again and move on to the remaining recordset. I am new to report development and I'm having to pick it up on the fly. I can't seem to locate any documentation about how to handle this scenario.
I don't have the time or inclination to re-invent the wheel here, is there anyone who has solved this problem who can point me in the direction of some help?
Filtering Lines In A DTS Text Import
Jan 19, 2004I have a DTS that reads in a bunch of transactions daily to a tran history table. I read them in from a text file each day. The problem is, that about half of the lines in the text file contain semicolons because they are comments. What I do now is, import the whole thing, and then do a Delete on my tran hist table for all lines with semicolons. As my tranhist table grows, this Delete will start to take a long time. How do I filter it so it doesn't even import the lines with semicolons to start with, that will run faster and save me time later.
Thanks,
Andrew
Extremely Long Lines Of Text
Sep 25, 2006I have a dtsx package that works fine with one exception. When I open the dtsx package in BI, it gives me the following message:
Document contains one or more extremely long lines of text. These lines will cause the editor to respond slowly when you open the file. Do you still want to open the file?
When I respond yes, the package opens and I can edit or execute with no problem. Still, I want to understand what could cause this message to occur and, more importantly, how I can get rid of the message. When I try to simply execute the package I still get the same error and it seems this will be a problem for trying to run the package from SQL Server agent.
It seems likely to me that this message refers to the dtsx file (in xml format) itself. Does that make any sense?

Bold Lines In Text Based E-mail
Jun 13, 2008Hi everybody,
I'm sending text based e-mails using SMS and I need some lines to be bolded. I don't want to switch to HTML based just to make some lines bold. But, I cannot figure out how I can make the lines bold in SMS. I didn't see any options in SMS to bold a line of text. Is there any any function available for varchar datatype that will bold the text or something like that? or will I have to go to HTML based e-mail? any help is greatly appriciated.

Error - Document Contains One Or More Extremely Long Lines Of Text
May 6, 2008Hi,
I've created a dataset with 27 measures and 20 query parameters. When attempting to load the report containing this dataset I'm shown the message;
'Document contains one or more extremely long lines of text. These lines will cause the editor to respond slowly when you open the file. Do you still want to open the file.'
If I do open the file it does indeed respond very slowly or even hangs.
I can manually format the XML code but amending the code in any way (i.e. using the layout designer to move a chart) removes my formatting and re-introduces the problem.
Are these an unreasonable amount of measures / parameters?
Environment;

Many thanks.
Removing Lines From A Flat File
Oct 5, 2006Hi There,
I am parsing a directory of flat files and looping through it with a foreach loop. Some of the files have lines that contain characters that I would like to remove. In fact, it would be good if I could remove the entire line. Is there a way to do this with a Script Task or some other way.
Thanks for your help.
Reading First Few Lines From Flat File
Jun 5, 2007
Hi,
I have a very simple question, how do i read the first couple of lines only from a flat file source. Let me illustrate with an example:
**Source file***
Date of refresh 04/05/06 **
abc, 123
bac, 156
I need a way to read the first line 'Date of refresh 04/05/06 **' and get the date '04/05/06' ; and store the date in a variable.
Right now, I have a flat file source and a script component, which receives a connection from the flat file source, The script component is reading the lines, but thrice instead of once. It would be great if I can program the script component to terminate after reading the first line only. Any help would be appreciated very much.
Thanks

SSIS: Multi-Record File Using Merge - Getting Blank Lines
Mar 27, 2008 I have used the following useful article regarding exporting a multi-record file:
http://vsteamsystemcentral.com/cs21/blogs/steve_fibich/archive/2007/09/25/multi-record-formated-flat-file-with-ssis.aspx
I have created the 9 datasources, ordering each on a field commmon to all.
I have created the required derived columns headers and have merged all the record types into a file.
The resulting file looks fine, except for the odd blank line between record types. Any ideas regarding cause and what to do to fix?
Any help is most appreciated!

Count Item Number
Jul 18, 2006Hello;
Which is the easy way to do this:
I have 2 tables:Work_Order_Header and Work_Order_Detail.
I need to generate the Item Number from 1 to "qty of items" when I make the JOIN on WorkOrderNumber.
Example:
WorkOrderNumber WorkOrderItem WorkOrderAmt

ExecuteNonQuery To Count Number Of Rows??
Sep 5, 2007My understanding from a previous thread was that ExecuteNonQuery() could be used to display the number of rows returned.
Does this also work when calling stored procedures and passing parameters?
I have code (shown) that perfectly calls and returns Distinct models downloaded by Country. Yet the rowCount variable displays a -1.
What should I do?Dim myCommand As New SqlClient.SqlCommand
myCommand.CommandText = "ap_Select_ModelRequests_RequestDateTime"
myCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@selectDate", dateEntered)
myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@selectCountry", CInt(selectCountry))
myCommand.Connection = con
con.Open()
Dim rowCount As Integer = myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
numberParts.Text = rowCount.ToString
con.Close() Thank you.
