creating DBF file from text file

[Ehab Samir Aziz]

Dear all,
I need to store pages of text file delimited by FORMFEED character to Memo fields .
each record is indexed by unique key such account number .
Where can I find functions that deal with this matter ?

[ADutheil]

Can you post a small file so we can run some tests?

[Ehab Samir Aziz]

storing each page to a memo field and the account number to a separate field and then reindex the DBF according to account number. Then writing the indexed result to a new text file.


page 1 :Account number :444
..
..
Total : 1100
page 2 :Account number :444
..
..
Total : 1100
page 3 :Account number :444
..
..
Total : 1100
page 4 :Account number :444
..
..
Total : 1100
page 5 :Account number :444
..
..
Total : 1100
page 6 :Account number :444
..
..
Total : 1100
page 7 :Account number :444
..
..
Total : 1100
page 1 :Account number :445
..
..
Total : 1300
page 2 :Account number :445
..
..
Total : 1300
page 3 :Account number :445
..
Total : 1300
%%EOF

[ADutheil]

Do the actual text file have the markers "Account number :" and "Total :" ? If yes it´s easy.

[Ehab Samir Aziz]

Could you please draw a clue about the syntax . The markers are the line number and position number of each account number(444,445). The delimited between each page is formfeed .

It might be something like this:

You have to link the hbmisc lib from harbour.

[ADutheil]

Because you are using a very old Harbour version. If you can´t or do not want to upgrade you can try to link the class to your app.

I tried that module with the below data file :

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN


**                                   BANK OF Cyprus
A                                         ???????
    ??? ????                 RETAIL????? ?? ????? ????                         12-07-2012          ???????
    ???? ???                 103000963002        P    SEND BY POST                   1             ???? ???
    ???
        ???? ???? ??????? ????
        ?9 - ?????  ? - ????? ????????
        ?????? ??????? ??? ???

 

that below code does not generate test.DBF

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

PROCEDURE FillDB
LOCAL oFile := TFileRead():New( "all.txt101_data_P2.txt" )
LOCAL cTemp := ""
LOCAL cAcNb := ""

CreateDBF()

oFile:Open()
IF oFile:Error()
    msgStop( oFile:ErrorMsg( "FileRead: " ) )
ELSE
    WHILE oFile:MoreToRead()
    cTemp := oFile:ReadLine()
            IF "BANK OF Cyprus" $ cTemp
            ? "hello alex"
        cTemp := oFile:ReadLine()
        cTemp := oFile:ReadLine()
        cTemp := oFile:ReadLine()
       
            IF cAcNb != padL( allTrim( subStr( cTemp, 30, 12) )) // New Account
                cAcNb := padL( allTrim( subStr( cTemp, 30 , 12) ))
                test->( dbAppend() )
                test->ACNB := cAcNb
            ENDIF
        ELSE
            //IF !"Total:" $ cTemp .AND. !"EOF:" $ cTemp
            //    test->TEXT += ( " " + allTrim( cTemp ) )
            //ENDIF
        ENDIF
    ENDDO
    oFile:Close()
ENDIF
test->( dbCloseArea() )
RETURN

STATIC PROCEDURE CreateDBF()
LOCAL aStru := {}

aAdd( aStru, { "ACNB", "C",  12, 0 } )
//aAdd( aStru, { "TEXT", "M", 10, 0 } )
dbCreate( "TEST", aStru,, .T., "test" )
RETURN

That module works with the sample text file but that was not my desire . It saves all the pages concerning the account number 444 into one memo field . That was not my desire . My desire is to save every page into a separate memo field . So I will have 7 records with the account 444 and 3 records with the account 445.
Thanks

Changing your loop should do the trick:

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

   WHILE oFile:MoreToRead()
        cTemp := oFile:ReadLine()
        IF "Account number" $ cTemp
            test->( dbAppend() )
            test->ACNB := padL( allTrim( subStr( cTemp, rAt( ":", cTemp ) ) ), 8 )
        ELSE
            IF !"Total:" $ cTemp .AND. !"EOF:" $ cTemp
                test->TEXT += ( " " + allTrim( cTemp ) )
            ENDIF
        ENDIF
    ENDDO
 

I´m going to travel to a remote location now and I´ll probably be off-line until tuesday.
