Depending on the OS, if you happen to have the file open in another
application, you won't be able to write to it. Check that. Also, try
adding
set the defaultFolder to specialFolderPath(Desktop)
at the beginning of the script. Or, any defined path.
Just a note... you can simply say lock

Hello LC's,
I have a tab delimited text file(log file) that I need to manipulate every
once in a while and extract data from it. Is there a good way to read this
directly into a datagrid and manipulate it from there or I am better off
reading the file, loading it into a sqlite db and THEN
Why not just put the file into a variable, set the item delimiters to tab and
away you go?
Just query the items of the first line to understand your (changing) column
labels?
Best,
Keith..

set the dgtext of group yourgroup to URL (binfile:/path/to/the/file)
should work. dgtext works directly with tab and cr delimited text, so
should be easy peasy.

Hi Skip,
On the face of it, reading it into a variable and setting the dgText of the
datagrid to the variable seems like the simplest approach. I guess you
might make a case for using an in-memory sqlite database depending on the
volume of data and the complexity of the manipulations you want to
and if the first line contains the names of the individual fields on the
first row, you can
put the dgText[true]

Thanks.. I had tried that but I was getting some funky data formatting
coming in. Come to find out that the data in the log file has an
occasional misplaced CR and LF embedded.
Having said THAT, is there a way to strip out those characters? I know

not sure what you mean by a 'custom property field' actually...
you can store anything in a custom property , but that's DATA.
You can store the text data in a CP then put it into a field , then set the
text.
YOu could also store into a CP what goes into a field using HTML or RTF
text, which
Charles,
Not sure I totally understand what you need, a custom property is just a
container so you can't set it's text style to anything, but to store text
styles alongside the text data you could store the data as an array, maybe
something like;
To store the data…

Hi,

What would be a good approach to convert these two items to a sortable
format?

Back to my sorting issue with date and time, quite honestly, the log file
is already sorted I just need to have the DataGrid display it as it was
read into the system with out trying to do additional sorting. Is there a
way to sort, for instance, by some itemID number that the DataGrid
Datagrids assign a unique dgIndex which stays constant for each line after
they're sorted but I don't recall any automated way to sort by it. Maybe
you could just add a column to the input after you read it from your file
with an incrementing number in it so it would end up as a column in the
So the dgIndex is assigned after it is read in and sorted? I am using the
simple technique of:
put C:\Users\Skip\Desktop\myLog.log into it
put url (file: it) into theData
set the dgText of group MyGrid to theData
Looks like I might need to approach this thing differently if I want to
read
Hmm. Not sure why its forcing your hand as far as sorting goes in the
inspector. Assuming you're defined your column names theres a checkbox
down low in the sorting section for each column, and to get no sorting I
just make sure theres no check in the box for each column. (which is the
same thing
So I found the column that was being forced into sorting. I deleted that
column and re-created it and voila! Pulling my hair out for something
like this drives me crazy!
One last thing, is there a way to have it scroll all the way down to the
bottom of the data contained within the DataGrid
if you put a routine in the closefield handler of the field that set a custom
property of the group in array form, eg, field_Text[cdNbr], then you can
retrieve this at any time from within the group, no matter where it is placed,
no? It won't be a setprop/getprop method, but should be pretty
set the dgVscroll of group yourgroup to pPercent where pPercent is in
the form of a number between 0 and 1.
Should be able to scroll it right to the bottom that way.
