The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Append a .csv file to a SQL db

Asked by mts9 in ColdFusion Application Server

Tags: csv, sql, append, db, upload

I have a service supplier that sends us data on a disk (at least for now) in a csv format. Here is an example of that data:

"N","MYWAY","6439116","16","111795630359191309","N","11.7","N","12.0","Prepaid","20030325172959","N",,,"N",,,,"N",,"N",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"N",,"179563","4.86","4.86","0.00","1",,"JONES & CO","JANET","269 SOUTH 20TH STREET",,,"United States","55555","MYTOWN","PA",,,,,,"N","N","4.86","Package","11.7","222795630359191309","None","63324-1001",,,,,"N",,"N",,,,,,"N",,,"N",,"N","N",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"N",,,,"0","0","0",
"N","MYWAY","6439116","16","333795630359742713","N","1.0","N","1.0","Prepaid","20030325172959","N",,,"N",,,,"N",,"N",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"N",,"179563","4.54","4.54","0.00","1",,"CHUCK SMITH",,"2301 N MY ST",,,"United States","44444","MYTOWN","PA",,,,,,"Y","N","4.54","Package","1.0","1Z1795630359742713","None","40415-2055-2403",,,,,"N",,"N",,,,,,"N",,,"N",,"N","N",,"Y",,"email","CHUCK SMITH",,,"ME@YAHOO.COM","N",,,,,,,,,,,"N",,,,"0","0","0",

What I would like to do with this data is to read it from the disk and write it to a SQL table. I have the following code to get the file from the user's machine.

<form name="frm_UPLOAD" action="ACTION_LOAD_DAILY_INFO.cfm" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
<input name="filename" size="40" type="file"><br>
<input type="Submit" value="Upload">
</form>

Then here is where I get stuck...this is my action page.
<cfoutput>
<cfset #loop_count# = 1>
<cffile ACTION="READ" FILE="#form.filename#" VARIABLE="DISK_DATA">
<cfloop Index="LOOP_COUNTER" list="#DISK_DATA#" delimiters=""",""">
This is where I would insert
</cfloop>
</cfoutput>

I'm having trouble with the null values and determining where the record ends because it isn't fixed width. Also, the null values aren't being counted in the loop so counting characters doesn't seem to work.

Perhaps I'm doing it all wrong...I guess I'm just looking to see if there is a simple CF solution. Example code would be very beneficial.

Thanks!
