how to read the text file and convert it to csv.
Hi All i have a code which is work fine up till now but fail because there was a large value in the fail and mess up the whole file.
Now if you see the file is reading the first line and adding 10 to increase the line number for each line but when it hits the weird value which is line 200 and 210 in the attached file it skips those lines and read the next line which mess up the whole process.
Can some one help me fix this ?
what i want is :
1. Read the Line numbers instead of adding 10 to the first line number.
2. the price column is always 3 decimals so anything after that can we ignored as i am not using this field to populate in my csv.
Thank you for your help

Can you explain what that line does so i understand as well?
Great simple and fast.
Great simple and fast.
The code was already set up to read the line number from the incoming text file, into strLine, but it looks like you (or someone else) changed that and added intNumber for some reason. I don't know why that was, but you should be able to just return to using strLine.

would that read the line number from first column as in document?
