Hey Gordon,
Thanks for the reply. I got it to work using split like you said.
I'm now stuck trying to put the data in a datagrid. The data is now
in an array but I'm not sure how you reference each element for a
column in the data provider or the data grid.
The data looks something like this
(Record 1)
09/17/07 < element 0
245 < element 1
37 < etc
36
44
194
100
2
45
4
462
63906
(record 2)
09/18/07
263
41
34
43
197
95
1
45
3
459
63906
And my datagrid would be
<mx:DataGrid id="dg" width="100%"
height="100%" rowCount="5" dataProvider="{array}" >
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn
headerText="Date" textAlign="center" />
<mx:DataGridColumn
headerText="CoreTechInit" textAlign="center"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn
headerText="ServerInit" textAlign="center"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn
headerText="ImportPackets" textAlign="center"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn
headerText="Merge" textAlign="center"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn
headerText="Layout" textAlign="center"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn
headerText="Render" textAlign="center"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn
headerText="CalcTime" textAlign="center"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn
headerText="RenderOverhead" textAlign="center"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn
headerText="AppOverhead" textAlign="center"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn
headerText="Total" textAlign="center"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn
headerText="FileSize" textAlign="center"/>
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
So my question now is How do I associate each array element with its
proper place holder in the datagrid?? Do I have to create and
associative array or something? I'm assuming it has something to do
with the datafield of each column?
Any help is greaty appreciated
Thanks
Dylan
