You can vote for it.
Excellent, I will do that.
We went in two different directions, I was concerned with not
breaking on separator characters when they are inside paired quote
characters. Needed for bursting a line from a CSV style file for
loading into a table for instance, so added an optional parameter -
the quote character to watch for, if passed then watch for it, if
missing old functionalaity..etc.and a second optional parameter to
say whether to include quotes in the arrays field or not..
Darn MSAccess export files with booleans ( 0,1) and text fields can
looks like:
2145,0,0,0,1,"Some text, and more text / all one field",0,0,2.15
That damned embedded comma..you know. Even better, this is a valid
export from MSA also:
2145,0,0,0,1,"Some text, and I"ll make more text / all one
field",0,0,2.15
A typo during data entry no doubt, but MSA takes it and exports it
just like that...arrrgh
For the first example, I have already the code in my mind, it's not so
hard.
For the second, I do not :-( maybe must implemented in C/C++ using
some regexp library.
Actually, nothing serves to focus ones attention more then a deadline
and I promised someone that I would have this loader ready today..that
and just about anything is better then writing a formal disaster
recovery plan...anyway, I realized I was way off in the weeds before and
making it much more complicated then it needed to be. You can do all
this with routines currently supplied in the tools library..and the
scrubber actually needs to be a wrapper not a change to the
arrayoutofstring routine.
So, I've got it in the editor right now and I thin I'll try using your
replacement version of the arrayoutofstring..when I'm done I'll post it
up here for you to see how it works...
