Re: [WebDNA] Limts? -and- Hot Merge

It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 102344
interpreted = N
texte = Yes, the ability to read CVS or TDF. The docs say that WebDNA can read a CSV and it will convert it to a TDF automatically. But in all my testing I could not get it to work. I dug through the archives and seem to remember finding someone else with the problem years ago. I allow customers to upload their inventory lists, most of those lists are in CSV. I try to merge those lists into their existing product databases. As it is right now I have to go through a very long process to convert the CSV line by line, and I have a process that reads through the entire line splitting out each field according to the character combination "," The process is unbelievably long. I have to limit the size of the upload because sometimes the [span] that does the merge routine will get too big and die. Bottom line is that I could not even get the example from the docs to work for the CSV formats. >> >> Now, can someone tell me how to use the supposed built in feature >> that converts CSV files into TAB tables?
