Hi
I receive CSV files that have a different file extension (DRR).
Is there an easy way of renaming these files before I process them as CSVs . QlikView refuses to open any file whose extension it does not recognise. Maybe using cmd command?
Thanks in advance
Alexis
Hi,
While you select file --> from drop down select all files and select your.drr extension file.
It should work

1. Create a bat file doing something like:
ren *.(current extension name) *.(extension you want)
2. Execute the bat file from the QV script:
EXECUTE batfilename.bat;
test data
seems to work with crr extension out of the box:
table1:
LOAD DealerID,
KPIYear,
[KPI Description],
KPI1,
KPI2,
KPI3
FROM
[http://community.qlik.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/596334-122071/QlikCommunity_Thread_130945.drr]
(txt, utf8, embedded labels, delimiter is ',', msq);
hope this helps
regards
Marco

Hi Ashfaq,
I had assumed that because it was an unrecognised extension it would not read it but it seems it recognises it as a CSV file regardless. Thanks
