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.

Thank you!

Read csv from file and input into table

Asked by sluggo in Active Server Pages (ASP)

Tags: from, asp, read

I have an application that outputs a csv file.  The csv file is not a normal 'database' style... it's laid out for viewing the data in Excel.

I'm building an application to reformat the data.  A customer can upload his csv file, and I then pull it and write it to Excel (using www.excelwriter.com).

Here's a sample file.  The location of the data is always in the same position file to file - although the number of data records could increase or decrease (ignore START/FINISH).

Here's what I'm looking for:
1.  I need the report name, date, etc. along with the datalist.  What is the 'best' approach at reading this data?  ie.  import in db, read line by line, other
2.  Could you supply me with an example of the code for this particular example above?  If you could just generate a full list in asp, I could then map it to excelwriter. Example:
