Oh l� l�, comme on dit chez nous... What's an usefull stuff, Xavier. Can spend time in test and debug, if that can help ;)

Le 29 juin 04, � 06:11, MisterX a �crit :

I wrote one to import an excel made csv.
There was no published format that I could find though...

It is a "bit" unfinished (about 5% missing) in the
translation matrix...

I'll polish it today and try to fix the errors, try to
find the source of the data to put in the proper credits.
The database contains a few thousands NT events errors and
codes reference.

cheers
Xavier

A physician in our area had a need for an application which

import patient data from a text file (multiple rows of comma-delineated
data). It was a simple task, using Revolution, to open the
file and read
the data to a field. Subsequently a "model" card was cloned and the
appropriate data sent to various fields on each card. Over a thousand
records were created this way in a few minutes.The only stumbling block
involved my forgetting that a standalone cannot modify itself.
No matter
though; I merely created an invisible "starter app" that immediately
opened a data stack in the data folder.
The application works "as advertised".
The doctor was impressed that it was possible to do this in a few hours!

String handling apps DO seem to be Rev's forte.

yes, string handling is pretty good - but I'm surprised that Rev has no
built-in support for CSV files. They are a pretty common interchange
format, but handling the variations commonly found makes it
non-trivial to
do this properly - quoted fields, delimiter in quoted fields, escaped or
doubled quotes within a field, etc.


Has anyone written and contributed a library to avoid others having to
"roll-your-own" ?

(*) - I should probably say "appears to have no built-in support" - there
may be something that I just can't find in the docs.
