thanks all - i am trying to absorb all the input...
the background of this is this:
attached soi format works with my program. but now the source is coming from a diff place with csv format, but it does not work- i am wondering if there is any fundamental issue with the csv char formatting that was not so in the soi file.
the columns are different- they can be mapped once the csv file is made to work. just renaming the file to soi did not help.
please rename test1.txt to test1.soi
thank you.
test2.csv
test1.txt
