Hi, I have a huge file that I want to get into a db format. There are over 5000 records and I need to create fieldnames on the fly. Each record comprises a number of lines (fields) containing 2 elements (fieldname [first 5 chars (which need rtrimming)], value [rest of line, some with lots of text]). Some fieldnames are duplicated within a record so I need to rename these by using a counter which is reset for each record (there are at least 5 fieldnames that are affected this way - so 5 counters). Some values contain subfields so I need to be able to handle these, but this doesn't look frightening. And I would like to end up with an array with keys (fieldnames) and values. But I'm stuck at the first hurdle because I can't find out how to put a line into a string. Any pointers?
