How Can I Remove The Line Feed/carriage Return In The Last Line Of The Exported Text File ?
Feb 27, 2007
Hi,
for some AP issue, the file I upload must be without the line feed/carriage return in the last line.
for example:
original fixed-length file (exported from SSIS)
line NO DATA
1 AA123456 50 60
2 BB123456 30 40
3 CC123456 80 90
4 <-- with line feed/carriage return in the last line
The file format that AP request. The file only has 3 records, so it should end in the third line.
line NO DATA
1 AA123456 50 60
2 BB123456 30 40
3 CC123456 80 90
Should I use script component to do it ? I am new for VB . Anyone would help me ?
I am trying to write a user defined function that will allow me tostrip off the last carriage return and line feed from a text field.We have address fields stored in a text field for our ERP system andsome of them have an extra carriage return and line feed at the end ofthem. This causes havoc when we sync between our ERP system and CRMsystem. If anyone knows a way to solve this problem the help would beappreciated.Examples:Existing Text field with CR:1234 Blah Street<CR>Suite 2345<CR>Corrected Text field:1234 Blah Street<CR>Suitr 2345
Note that the third column in the third line is also qualified by quotes whereas the previous two are not. I think this is because of Excel formatting. Is there any way to import this file correctly?
My main problem is that I never know whether a column will be qualified or not because this depends on the value. I need to loop through and import many of these files so a manual workaround is not a option for me.
We're using this statement to import some values into a database: SQLStatement = "INSERT MyTable (ID, VALUE) VALUES ('" & IDString & "', '" & VALUEString & "')"
The problem is that the strings might contain carriage returns/line feeds, i.e. VALUEString = "Line 1." & vbCrLf & "Line 2."
It only imports up until the first vbCrLf. We have tried replacing vbCrLf with "", but this doesn't work either. What is the correct format for inserting a value that contains new line characters?
That's how it looks when you click on the results of a small subset of the query. Just what I want. Unfortunately when you try to right click and save it you get
I'm in the process of importing a series of flat files into SQL Server. I'm using a ~ to separate the columns and the row delimiter is {CR}{LF}. One of the files has a field that contains the CRLF combination in a few places so that field is split over several rows. This is readily visible when I look at the flat file. However, when I'm importing the file, the Import and Export wizard seems to ignore them and import the files as they should with one row per record.
I am displaying a complex formula in a column header tool tip. The formula is generated in a stored procedure. (I do not enter the tool tip text directly in the column header expression.)
Within the stored procedure, how do I generate a string that contains a carriage return/line feed?
I have a CSV file that I am importing via SSIS into a SQL table.On the Flat File connector, I have specified Line Feed as the row delimiter.The data flow is failing due to some of the rows having line feeds before the end of the row.Is there a way to get rid of some line feeds but not others, so that I can run the data flow successfully.
I have two matrices aligned on one line (side by side). When I preview the report in BIS, the output shows the two matrices on the same line.
When I run the report from report manager, the output shows the two matrices with a line feed (the second matrix is on line 2). All of the rest of the report is aligned properly until I put two matrices next to each other. Then it seems to randomly throw in a line feed. The page width for the report layout seems to be more than enough to accomodate the matrices.
Hi, I want to insert line feed. I have used char(10) and char(13) function. But I could not insert line feed. Ex: set error1= 'error description' + char(10)+ 'Employee' Output must be: error description Employee Any suggestions are welcome.
I am trying to print mailing labels and suppress optional address lines to eliminate white space while maintaining label alignment. This is what I am trying but it does not work.
I create a function that determines the length of a field (i.e. street) and increments a counter if the length is zero. It also takes a second parameter that detremines whether to reset the counter. I then use the function in the visibility each row of the label table. Example iif(Code.LineLen(Fields!Street.Value)=0,True,False). I place this on the visibility of each row except the last as that is City,State,Zip and is required. On this last row the expession I use is
=Fields!city.Value & ", " & Fields!state.Value & " " & Fields!zip.Value & iif(Code.LineCount<5,StrDup(5-Code.LineCount,vbCRLF),""). What this is intended to do is print a carraige return and line feed for every row that did not print. Instead no line feeds occur. I have verified that the Code.LineCount is indeed calculating correctly (I printed the value). I've removed the conditional to make sure it has no issues but again nothing. For clarification the code block I am using is this.
Public LineCount as Integer=0
Function LineLen(byval LineIn as string,byval IsFirst as boolean) as Integer if IsFirst=True then LineCount=1 end if If len(LineIn)>0 then LineCount=LineCount+1 end if LineLen=Len(LineIn) end Function So if anyone either knows why the line feeds do not occur or a better way to handle this please let me know. Thanks.
Hi ALL, I need to delete 1st and last lines of text from a text file in an automated process,and save the file with the same name or a different name at the same location. How is that possible?Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!! Sai.
I am writing a string to a text file using the below code:
DECLARE @MyText nvarchar(500) SET @MyText = 'type This is my text >> c:MyLog.txt' exec master..xp_cmdshell @MyText
What I want to know is. how do I write multiple lines to MyLog.txt without having to call out xp_cmdshell each time I want a new line in my log? Do I use newline character in @MyText like SET @MyText = 'type This is my text line 1</n>This is line2 >> c:MyLog.txt'
hello everyone, I have a a texarea box and user type in the comments, and then I insert it into sql database, i retrieve it and write to a text file, but the text file shows multiple lines bc user hit "Enter Key" or "Tab key" now i want to remove all the Carriage Return character or tab key, and i want the text file shows countinous lines. any suggestions are greatly appreciated thanks
Using ADO to conect to a text format data file to gather data. File is a .dat file, tab delimited, no header row.
Got all my ducks in a row: 1) Write a schema.ini 2) Make sure the extension is not excluded in the Jet Text registry key 3) Setup the connection properly (per MSDN Scripting help)
Works nicely, except the fist line of data is missing. File contains 78 rows of data, Jet is skipping the first line every time and reporting 77 rows.
Notes: 1) Adding a blank row, as suggested in this forum, is not an option - the data files are machine generated are not to be altered by other processes. 2) I could do it the old fashion way of importing and splitting into arrays, but this is a database function and ADO should be able to handle it.
Code samples:
Code Block
adoCON.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & sPath & ";Extended Properties=""text;HDR=NO;FMT=Delimited;"";" On Error Resume Next rsSrc.Open "Select * From " & sFile, adoCON, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic, adCmdText sPath is a string containing the path, including the trailing sFile is a string containing the file name.

created a very basic flow in SSIS: extracted table data through ole db connection, added multicast and as end result i created a flat file destination (with .txt file) and a ole db destination.
My question is; how can i delete the .txt file before executing the flow again? Want to avoid that the .txt file has duplicated rows after a second execution of the flow. Is it possible to use scd component or is this way to complicated? A for each loop?
i need a similar solution for the data that will be transported through the ole db destination task....
Any help on my request would greatly be appreciated. We are trying to maintain the growth of a particular table, by exporting and deleting data that is older then 90 days. Here are the 4 steps I need to do. I believe I know how to do 1 and 4;
1. Create a job that continously exports data that is older then 90 days to a text file
select *
from table A
WHERE (CREATED < DATEADD(DAY, - 90, GETDATE()))
(the column 'created' datatype is datetime and looks like this '3/5/2007 3:11:44 PM')
2. Have the job automatically name the exported file, the day it was exported (i.e. 07032007 (todays date))
3. Then zip that file (we're using 7-zip)
4. Then delete the data out of the table
delete
from table A
WHERE (CREATED < DATEADD(DAY, - 90, GETDATE()))
Im not a big scripter/coder, so I was wondering if there is anything I could do in SSIS. Im more familiar with DTS, so any kind of baby steps you could provide in SSIS, would go a long way.
I need the Trend line for the following data in Line chart they are the following data. The following are the graph are my output and i need the trend line for these Key_gap value.

I need the same trend line for the Bar-Chart in SSRS 2005.
I hope I'm posting this in the correct forum (forgive me if I'm not) since I'm not sure if this is an issue with inserting an item into a db or the processing of what I get out of it. I wrote a basic commenting system in which someone my post a comment about something written on the site. I wanted to keep it very simple, but I at least want the ability for a user to have newlines in their comment without having to hardcode a <br /> or something like that. Is there a way for me to detect a newline if someone, for example, is going to their next paragraph? Let me know if you need a better explanation. Thanks in advance!
I'm using quite odd combination of technology for my project, I'm using PHP and MSSQL 2000, at one certain page, I want to insert to a table where one of the column is TEXT data type, and I want to get the value from the TEXTAREA at the page, of course, with carriage return captured, I manage to get it done in MySQL, where it automatically store the carriage return keyed in by user at the TEXTAREA, while for MSSQL I no luck in finding solution for this, is there any settings I can set or I need to convert the carriage return keystroke to HTML tag at my PHP?
G'day everyoneThat's a space between the ticks.It's all part of a longer script but seeing as the failure occurs online 1if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id =object_id(N'[dbo].[config]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') =1)drop table [dbo].[config]GOThat's three lines only.

I have created the following trigger:CREATE TRIGGER [CreateFile] ON OutputTableFOR INSERTASDeclare @filename nvarchar(35)Declare @filecontents nvarchar(2000)Declare @strcmdshell varchar(150)SELECT @filecontents = OutputText FROM INSERTEDSELECT @filename = 'c:' + OutputFileName FROM INSERTEDSELECT @strcmdshell = 'echo '+ @filecontents+ ' >'+ @filenameexec master..xp_cmdshell @strcmdshellIt works fine as long as the column OutputText has no carriagereturns.I have used my Access2K front end to dump about ten lines of text intoOutputText, each line broken by vbcrlf so that OutputText looks like:line1testline2textline3textetc.The trigger won't fire with this text.Is there something I can do to remedy this?lq
We have a line graph which plots the actual data points (x,y), everything is working fine with this graph. Now we need to add a trend line to this existing graph after going thro. the articles we came to know that there is no direct option in SSRS to draw a trend line. So we need to calculate the trend values ourselves which we need to plot as atrend line. This trend line is similar to the trend line which comes in Excel chart, do anyone know how to calculate the trend values from the actual data points. We got through several formulas, but were not clear, have anyone tried out exactly the same, if so please help us out by providing an example to calculate the trend values.
I have a line graph which shows positive and negative values. Is it possible to have the line one color when its negative and another when its positive?
I have a stacked bar chart which i notice a vertical line char. how can i removed this vertical line? I already modified the properties under smart labels under calloutlineanchor, calloutlinestyle, calloutstyle to None but still getting this vertical lines. another things is the data label as you can see in the the first column the 1.8% should be place under the gray color but its already shown before the orange color.
how can i insert a carriage return when i update the field?
say i want to put the following inside a field: firstline secondline
how can i update/insert a column to have a return carriage inside it? UPDATE table SET column = 'firstline secondline'
the reason i want this is because when using a program (Solomon, by microsoft, purchasing software) to grab a field out of the database and when it displays that field in the programs textbox, i want it to be displayed on two separate lines
i tried doing UPDATE table SET column = 'firstline' + char(13) 'secondline'
but when in the solomon program, it displays an ascii character between firstline and secondline like: firstline||secondline
Just messing about with a silly little problem in SQL which has me stumped! The problem goes like this; There are lots of books. There are lots of authors. Every book has atleast one author (primary author). Some books have a secondary author too!
Books(BookId, BookName) Authors(AuthorId, AuthorName) BookAuth(BookId, AuthorId, PrimaryAuth) Where primary auth is a bit field; 1 denotes primary, 0 denotes secondary.
The problem is trying to return a single line per book - something like
BookNamePrimary AuthorSecondary Author Book 1DaveNULL Book 2JohnDave Book 3LauraJohn
The following code is the little test script I've written which you may wish to utilise
IF EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM sysobjects WHERE type = 'U' AND name = 'Books') BEGIN DROP TABLE Books END IF EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM sysobjects WHERE type = 'U' AND name = 'Authors') BEGIN DROP TABLE Authors END IF EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM sysobjects WHERE type = 'U' AND name = 'BookAuth') BEGIN DROP TABLE BookAuth END
INSERT INTO Books SELECT 1, 'MS Access Book'UNION ALL SELECT 2, 'Microsoft Excel for Peanuts' UNION ALL SELECT 3, 'Some Autobiography'UNION ALL SELECT 4, 'SQL for Beginners'UNION ALL SELECT 5, 'Advanced T-SQL'UNION ALL SELECT 6, 'I can''t think of another title'
INSERT INTO Authors SELECT 1, 'Dave'UNION ALL SELECT 2, 'Steve'UNION ALL SELECT 3, 'John'UNION ALL SELECT 4, 'Joanne'UNION ALL SELECT 5, 'Christina'UNION ALL SELECT 6, 'Alex'
INSERT INTO BookAuth SELECT 1,1,1 UNION ALL SELECT 2,1,0 UNION ALL SELECT 1,2,1 UNION ALL SELECT 1,3,1 UNION ALL SELECT 3,3,0 UNION ALL SELECT 4,4,1 UNION ALL SELECT 4,5,1 UNION ALL SELECT 5,6,1 UNION ALL SELECT 6,6,0
SELECT * FROM bookauth
DROP TABLE Books DROP TABLE Authors DROP TABLE BookAuth
It should be so easy - but I can't get it so far! :D
