RE: Looping through a CSV File
Read the contents of the file into a variable. Then use something like
this.
INSERT INTO myTable (column1, column2, column3)
VALUES
('#listGetAt(cvsfile,1)#','#listGetAt(cvsfile,2)#','#listGetAt(cvsfile,3)#')
You will probably want to add more code for error protection/correction.
That's how I would do it, though. :)
Good luck!

Subject: Looping through a CSV File
I have a CSV File that I am pushing up using cffile. I want to loop
through the csv file and insert the content into a database, and I am
not sure how to do this. Any help our guidance would help?
Thanks

RE: Looping through a CSV File
The structure will always be the same but the file name is going to change though. I am backing up the old file before I push the new file up.

If the csv structure will always be the same, you could set up an ODBC connection and treat it like a table. - Original Message - From: "Mike Townend" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, March 21, 2002 10:26 AM Subject: RE: Looping through a CSV File > Treat the file as a list of lists... > > List 1 - Delimiter = #Chr(10)##Chr(13)# > > And each element of that list is a list with delimeter , > > HTH > > > > -Original Message- > From: Jason Larson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 21 March 2002 16:14 > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Looping through a CSV File > > > I have a CSV File that I am pushing up using cffile.

RE: Looping through a CSV File
Treat the file as a list of lists... List 1 - Delimiter = #Chr(10)##Chr(13)# And each element of that list is a list with delimeter , HTH -Original Message- From: Jason Larson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 21 March 2002 16:14 To: CF-Talk Subject: Looping through a CSV File I have a CSV File that I am pushing up using cffile.
