For each file in filelist

[Anonymous]

Can someone help me with this?

With the for each command I don't need a FROM line, but how can I then use the conditional delete?

The txt file used here are the tasklog files from qlikview.

I want to read them all out and make an overview of what task is running from what time to what time and I also want to see of the duration of the task is increasing or not.

We are running daily more then 1300 jobs, devided over 2 servers, so it is difficult to do it manually.

For each "tasklog.txt" in Filelist ('D:\files.txt')



temp:

LOAD @1,

  Left(@1,10) as Date,

  Left(Right(@1,Len(@1)-11),8) as Time,

  if(left(@3,5)='Start',Left(Right(@1,Len(@1)-11),8)) as starttime,

  if(left(@3,6)='Saving',Left(Right(@1,Len(@1)-11),8)) as endtime,

     @2,

     @3,

     SubField(@3,'"',2) as taskname,

     if(left(@3,4)='Task',right(left(@3,len(@3)-8),8)) as duration,

     @4

FROM
['D:\tasks\TaskLog.txt]

(txt, utf8, no labels, delimiter is '\t', msq, filters(

Remove(Row, RowCnd(Compound,

RowCnd(CellValue, 3, StrCnd(contain, 'Starting task', not)),

RowCnd(CellValue, 3, StrCnd(contain, 'Task Execute Duration', not)),

RowCnd(CellValue, 3, StrCnd(contain, 'The task "', not)),

RowCnd(CellValue, 3, StrCnd(contain, 'Saving Task', not))

)),



ColXtr(3, RowCnd(CellValue, 3, StrCnd(contain, 'Starting task')), 0),

Replace(4, top, StrCnd(null))

));

Next "tasklog.txt"

Maybe this can be used as an example TaskAnalysis.qvw

I think you are misunderstanding what the filelist function does. It does not read the contents of a file. It reads the list of files in a directory/folder.

If you want to for...loop from a files contents

1) Load the file into a QlikView table

2) Concat the contents of the table into a variable which would then hold a comma separated list.(dont forget to concat single quotes (chr(39)) into the result).

3) use FOR EACH vFile IN $(vFileList)
