Append Columns and Values to exisiting CSV

Hi

I have the below code which I pass a RS to add new columns and values to
a CSV file but it appears to update the same value for all rows..

can anyone see what I'm doing wrong..I need to treat them individually and
add different values..

Thanks

Pls Help!!

Code:

You do not have a .MoveNext in there, so you are re-using the same fields from the recordset each time.

It is far from clear how it should be added, as presumably you want to somehow match the recordset data to the data that is already in the file.

Hi Si..Thanks for replying

Yes via the policy number within the CSV with a tmp table previously created
within another routine!!

and where would I need place the .movenext?

You wouldn't use a .MoveNext, because that will just go to the 'next' record - it will not find the record that you actually want.

What you should do instead is move the recordset opening etc to inside the loop, and use a Where clause to get the apt record.

Hi

I've managed to get some of it sorted but now I'm encountering a problem with
reading the CSV file as a row can contain upto 250 columns and it appears
to be reading line by line...wherby I need to be able to read all columns at once!!

pls help!!

I'm afraid I have no idea what you mean, can you give a clearer explanation?

Ok, Here goes

I have a CSV file that contains approx 200 - 250 columns for a record, I need
to append the extra columns to the end of each and then do a select query
on the 5th column(policy number) but, because i'm reading it line by line it is
not getting to the end of the record and the 5th column is not always the
policy numbr !!

Hope this helps

Thanks

I'm not sure what you mean by that, because the code you have shown reads all of the data from the file.

That is rather awkward, and as you need to read that field, you need to find a way to work out where it is.

Pretending for a moment that you aren't writing a program... how would you work it out manually?
