Thanks Steve and Raman Found a better alternative. Python. :)
import csv
ifileR25 = open('Report_2_5, "rb")
readerR25 = csv.reader(ifileR25)
rownum = 0
for row in readerR25:
if rownum == 0:
header = row
else:
colnum = 0
for col in row:
if rownum > 1:
if colnum == 0:
<< do all my processing here >>
colnum += 1
rownum += 1
ifileR25.close()
The trouble's different. How do i open two files, the Report_2_5 above and also
another one with the Customer IDs alone and look for rows only for in
Report_2_5 for it and process them alone
for example,
Report_2_5 has the following data
C_ID, ID_NO, stat1, vol2, amount3
2134, Ins1, 10000, 20000, 10
2112, Ins3, 30000, 20000, 10
2121, Ins3, 30000, 20000, 10
2145, Ins2, 15000, 10000, 5
2245, Ins2, 15000, 10000, 5
0987, Ins1, 10000, 20000, 10
Now my customer id has the following records ONLY
2134
0987
Should i iterate through the complete customer id file to find out if a number
is there ? if so, how do i create a report of just the following and process it
?
C_ID, ID_NO, stat1, vol2, amount3
2134, Ins1, 10000, 20000, 10
0987, Ins1, 10000, 20000, 10
My output has to state
Stat1 : 20000
vol2 : 40000
amount3 : 20
Thanks in advance
