Another stupid question...how do I load a CSV file?

Hi guys,

I have a CSV file that needs to be loaded into my application. I couldn't find the CSV version when I clicked "Table Files" icon...

I can find it's excel version though.

Thanks,

Lynn

CSV files should show up after clicking on "Table Files", just leave the "Files of type" set to "All Table Files":

in the window where you are supposed to see your files and select one, make sure your "files of type" is "all table files". that should help!

Thanks, guys, I found it in "Table Files" but the script looks like this:

"Directory;

Load @1

From

[.........]"

What is "@1"?

Labels >> Select Embedded Labels

This will give you column name as FieldName...

If your CSV files don't have header or Column name select

Labels >> None

and give name to your field

like below

@1 as FieldName1,

@2 as FieldName2 etc

This is the default column header when the wizard doesn't find one. Seems you missed to mark 'Embedded Labels'.

Hope this helped.
