Hi Gregory,
Does this work for you?
function csv2tab theData
repeat for each line myLine in theData
repeat for each word myWord in myLine
if char 1 of myWord is quote and (char -2 of myWord is
quote or char -1 of myWord is quote) then
replace comma with "<\#>" in myWord
end if
put myWord after myNewData
end repeat
put cr after myNewData
end repeat
replace comma with tab in myNewData
replace "<\#>" with comma in myNewData
return myNewData
end csv2tab

Hello everyone,
I'm creating an app that imports comma-delimited tables. A few
lines might look like this, where there are 14 items per line.
"Mon, Jan 18 , 2010",9:14 AM,130557,4319,Trade,Buy,X,
135,8.25,10,-82.5,1417.5,20,10
"Mon, Jan 18 , 2010",9:14 AM,130558,4371,Accept,Your ASK,X,
135,8.25,10,82.5,1582.5,0,10
My problem is that Rev treats each date in quotes as three items
rather than one. I convert the comma delimiters to tab by setting
the itemDelimiter to comma and then running the lines through nested
repeat-for-each loops as
repeat for each line thisLine in dataTable
repeat for each item thisItem in thisLine
put thisItem & tab after newLine
end repeat
-- more stuff here
end repeat
I end up with
"Mon (as the first item)
Jan 18 (as the second)
2010" (as the third)
Any suggestions as how I might get the date treated as one item?
Regards,
Gregory
