Hallo guys,
how are you? Maybe someone remember me... I have not been coding for a long time and I'm back to you for an help with my new project.

To speed up a working activity I have to Open a positional TXT, I have to analyse it and export it as a CSV. I'm used to import and elaborate it in Access but the file is everyday bigger and it is going excede Access limits in a short time so I was thinking about a dedicate tool. Is it something I can easy do with UPP?

It is a positional txt with 650 character for line and about 800k lines at the moment (and I have to skip the first and last line)...

Any suggestion about the right approach to the project?
Someone can help me to start this project?

Best regards,
Matteo

you can start with this:
#include <CtrlLib/CtrlLib.h>

using namespace Upp;

Vector<String> SpliteLine(String& line)
{
	// example
	return Split(line, "\t", false);
}

GUI_APP_MAIN
{
	String s = LoadFile(TXT_file_path);
	StringStream ss(s);
	FileOut out(csv_file_path);
	while(!ss.IsEof() && !ss.IsError())
	{
		String line = ss.GetLine();
		Vector<String> fields = SpliteLine(line);
		if(!fields.GetCount()) continue;
		String r = CsvString(fields[0]);
		for(int i = 1; i < fields.GetCount(); i++)
			r << ";" << CsvString(fields[i]);
		
		r << "\n";
		
		out << r;
	}
}



regards
omari.

Thank you, Omari!
Now I can open, read my txt and export my csv.

The only problem is that each line of my txt has a structure like this:

X - Field name - Type - Pos. - Length
1 - Distribution Type - A/N - 1 - 3
2 - Distribution date - A/N - 4 - 8
3 - Application date - A/N - 12 - 8
4 - Sales organization - A/N - 20 - 4

and I have to split each line following "Pos" and Length rules.

Thanks,
Matteo

Is there any dedicate solution to do it?

Vector<String> SpliteLine(String& line)
{
       ASSERT(line.GetCount() >= 23);
	Vector<String> r;

        r.Add() = line.Mid(0, 3);
        r.Add() = line.Mid(3, 8);
        r.Add() = line.Mid(11, 8);
        r.Add() = line.Mid(19, 4);

	return r;
}

Good! thanks you so much!

The while cicle take a lot of time because the file I'm going to read is 800k rows so I decided to introduce a ProgressIndicator to monitor it. The problem is that at the moment the progress indicator appear only at the end of the process so it is useless... Why?

PriceListGenerator::PriceListGenerator()
{
	CtrlLayout(*this, "PriceList Generator");
	
	//menĂ¹-tool-status
	AddFrame(menu);
	AddFrame(tool);
	AddFrame(status);
	menu.WhenHelp = status;
	tool.WhenHelp = status;
	menu.Set(THISBACK(MainMenu));
	tool.Set(THISBACK(SubBar));
	
	//Progress
	status.Add(pi.RightPos(5, 200).TopPos(2, 15));   //Indicator inside my statusBar
	pi.Percent();
	pi.Hide();

	//String s = LoadFile(TXT_file_path);
	generate <<= THISBACK(LoadPriceList);
	//LoadPriceList(s);
}

void PriceListGenerator::LoadPriceList()
{
	String s = LoadFile("C:\\Users\\Matteo\\Desktop\\prova.txt");
	StringStream ss(s);
	
	int x = 0;
	pi.Show();
	//pi.Set(x,1000); //how can I get the right number of rows?
	
	FileOut out("C:\\Users\\Matteo\\Desktop\\output.csv");
	out << AddHeader();
	
	while(!ss.IsEof() && !ss.IsError())
	{
		String line = ss.GetLine();
		Vector<String> fields = SpliteLine(line);
                pi.Set(x++);                       // ProgressIndicator
		
		if(!fields.GetCount()) continue;
		
		String r = CsvString(fields[0]);
		for(int i = 1; i < fields.GetCount(); i++)
		{
			r << ";" << CsvString(fields[i]);
		}
		r << "\n";
		out << r;
	}
}


It could be a problem about statusBar?
Moreover, if I would like to show the percentage how can I get the total number of rows?

Best,
Matteo

1 - you can call
ProcessEvents();
after the call
 if (x % 200 == 0) pi.Set(x++);   


2 -
Quote:
pi.Set(x,1000); //how can I get the right number of rows?


pi.Set(x, s.GetCount() / lineSize); 


in your case, i think, lineSize = 24.

omari.

Going ahead with the development of my tool I discovered this strange situation:

here is and example my csv output:
"20200103";"0113E0            ";"SEMICUSCINETTO                ";"00000001594";"H ";Common part
"20200103";"0113E1            ";"SEMICUSCINETTO                ";"00000001582";"H ";Common part
"20200103";"0113E2            ";"SEMICUSCINETTO                ";"00000002264";"H ";Common part
"20200103";"0113E3            ";"SEMICUSCINETTO                ";"00000001667";"H ";Common part
"20200103";"0113E4            ";"SEMICUSCINETTO                ";"00000001667";"H ";Common part


The problem is that opening it with microsoft Excel the are part numbers like "0113E2 " are automatically converted in a scientific format and becaome 1,13E+02...

Maybe the solution to force it like a Text should be to include a ' at the beginning of the number...

What do you think?

Best,
Matteo

Is there a way to convert my CSV in XLS file formatting all cells a text?
Following the Excel import procedure and setting columns as Text I can avoid the data conversion...

Best,
Matteo

try this solution : (putting '=' at the beginning )

"20200103";="0113E0            ";"SEMICUSCINETTO                ";"00000001594";"H ";Common part
"20200103";="0113E1            ";"SEMICUSCINETTO                ";"00000001582";"H ";Common part
"20200103";="0113E2            ";"SEMICUSCINETTO                ";"00000002264";"H ";Common part
"20200103";="0113E3            ";"SEMICUSCINETTO                ";"00000001667";"H ";Common part
"20200103";="0113E4            ";"SEMICUSCINETTO                ";"00000001667";"H ";Common part
