Hello all!
I know I have not visited the group in a while and I apologize for
that. I usually end up confusing people when I try to answer a
question, anyway.
I know I can probably find this on the net or a book somewhere, but
thought I would throw this out there and see if anyone was willing to
offer some feedback and/or code.
Basically I still haven't utilized ADO yet in a program, as I haven't
actually had to write any new programs for a while, but I have a
small project I am going to start on tomorrow and I thought it would
be a good opportunity to start doing things the right way before
waiting for the big projects.
Basically I have a text file where the records are a set length. I
want to open this text file with ADO to access the records. I can
read each record as one field and just extract the data I need from
it.
Any website or project you can point me to to get started? I am
assuming it will be fairly simple. I am assuming I just need to add
ADO to a project. Open the file, assign a record length, read a
record, read a value from within it, move on to next record to end of
file.
I have written 100's of these programs before just not with ADO, I am
mainly asking you all in case there are any oddities with ADO I might
be unprepared for. But the ability to access a text file like a
database will come in really handy.
By the way, for the bigger project when it comes up, whoever
suggested I use XML for my data files, that seems like a perfect
solution. XML will be next on my list of things to read up on!
Thanks in advance.
