Hello everyone,
I'm creating an app that imports comma-delimited tables. A few lines might
look like this, where there are 14 items per line.
"Mon, Jan 18 , 2010",9:14
AM,130557,4319,Trade,Buy,X,135,8.25,10,-82.5,1417.5,20,10

My problem is that Rev treats each date in quotes as three items rather than
one. I convert the comma delimiters to tab by setting the itemDelimiter to
comma and then running the lines through nested repeat-for-each loops as
repeat for each line thisLine in dataTable
repeat for each item thisItem in thisLine
put thisItem& tab after newLine
end repeat
-- more stuff here
end repeat
I end up with
"Mon (as the first item)
Jan 18 (as the second)
2010" (as the third)
Any suggestions as how I might get the date treated as one item?
Yes, although it is so goofily obvious you have probably thought about
this one and rejected it:
Change the commas for the bits inside the quotes to something else ( ^
* %) - dunno, any old
thing that isn't a comma . . . :)
