Dear Viktoras
You can directly put a data file separated by tabs in a table field
(put tData into field "somefield"). If your data are separated with
another separator, then you need a function to replace that
separator with a tab. This could be something like that (untested)
put url ("file:yourfile) into tData
put csv2tab(tData, ",") into tTabbedData
put tTabbed data into field "my data field"
-- I write it as two lines only for clarity, you could do
this: put csv2tab(tData, ",") into field "my data field"
function csv2tab pData, pSeparator
if pSeparator is tab then return pData
set the itemdel to pSeparator
put empty into tTabbedData
repeat for each item tItem in pData
--- this loop is being used to make sure that only the
separator is replace *only* when outside quotes
--- the pSeparator should be untouched in "Doe, John" but
changed in "Doe", "John"
put tItem & tab after tTabbedData
end repeat
return tTabbedData
end csv2tab
Hi!
could someone please point to an example on how to populate table
cells with
data read from a delimited (comma, tab, etc...) text file. Is there
any
specific transcript "shortcut" function to do this or just the
manual "long"
way?
Thanks!
Best regards
