Convert ASCII CSV file

i have a program which able to digest a CSV file into the DB (SQLanywhere), however my original CSV file is a ASCII format, where the program is only accept UTF-8. is there any method can convert the CSV file from ASCII to UTF-8 automatically?
Q1.
is it using the following for conversion?
byte[] bytes = test.getBytes("IS0-8859-1");
String encoded = new String(bytes,"UTF-8");
Q2.
is there any method can eliminate the text qualifier (")?
e.g. "0028634063","BETTY CROCKER'S KIDS COOK!-HB"," 121.50" become
0028634063,BETTY CROCKER'S KIDS COOK!-HB,121.50
Thanks a lot!

Q1.
is it using the following for conversion?
byte[] bytes = test.getBytes("IS0-8859-1");
String encoded = new String(bytes,"UTF-8");I'm pretty sure the above is not going to do what you expect. You convert some test string to bytes in the 8859-1 encoding. Now bytes has 8859-1 values. Then, you try to create "encoded" with that same "bytes" array...but now you seem to think it suddenly has UTF-8 values. It doesn't...it still has the 8859-1 values you just created. Using "bytes" as a UTF-8 array doesn't seem quite right.

SQL*Loader does not know how to process the microsoft proprietary binary format of Excel files. If you really want to use SQL*Loader then the data will have to be exported from Excel to a format that SQL*Loader can use, such as CSV... otherwise, don't use SQL*Loader (see the FAQ I posted already)

Import Export of contacts via ASCII CSV file

Hi all. I have a 9300 Curve. This is my phone. I had a workphone which was a 9900 Bold. I backed up the Bold when i left the job. I want to import the contacts from the Bold back up into the Curve. If i export the Curve contacts to a csv file. Then import the bold contacts from restoring just the contacts list.... so far ok, bold contacts in, curve contacts overwritten but they are in a file as csv. I then try to one way sync the curve contacts back in.....the csv file has removed all the zeros from the start of every number. If you "edit" the csv in notepad they are there but when you look via excel...they are not. If i sync back in....the zero's are gone. I do not want to sync with windows live or anything like that as it will import a whole heap of **bleep** i dont want as well.
Any clues?
Thanks

Any one can you help regarding this

This may not be an option for you but in pinch you may want to consider outputing your data to an MS Spreadsheet, then saving it as a CSV. It's somewhat of a cumbersome process, but it will get you by for now.
You will need to change your content type to application/vnd.ms-excel.
<% response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel"); %>

Sender "Mail" adapter - CSV file attachment

Hi there
I'm looking for some help in configuring a sender mail adapter that receives ".csv" files. I did read some blogs that mention using the "PayloadSwapBean" module to read the mail attachment instead of the mail content. My problem is to now convert the ".csv" file into a message. Is there a module that I can use ( is it the "MessageTransfomBean" ) and how. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Salil

Hi Salil,
If you want to send a mail with a body and attachments, the message sender HAS to provide an XI message with attachments. I doubt a CSV file does justice.
As Renjith said you need to convert CSV to XmL.
A short description about the Standard Modules:
MessageTransformationBean is a standard module used to apply the XSLT mapping to the adapter module by using <i>Transform.class</i> ( This xslt mapping is done to create a mail package, Dont confuse with the actual mapping in your case this is NOT for converting csv to xml).
Also this module can be used to change the name and type of payloads by using <i>Transform.contentType</i>, <i>Transform.contentDisposition</i>, <i>Transform.contentDescription</i>.
PayloadSwapbean is a standard module for replacing payloads with other payloads (SWAP)
If you want to give each attachment a certain name use Parameters, <i>swap.keyname</i> for name of the payload and <i>swap.keyvalue</i>.
I Hope the use of standard modules is understood.

Read from .csv file at startup

Hi, I am making my first app and I need to read data from a csv file into a list. I first created this functionality on a console application, but now when I try to use the same code it does not work.
class FoodDataBase {
private List<Food> foodDataBase = new List<Food>();
private string locationOfCSVFile = "C:\\Egen Programmering\\LivsmedelsDatabas\\LivsmedelsDatabas\\LivsmedelsDatabas.csv";
public FoodDataBase() {
PopulateFoodDataBase();
private bool PopulateFoodDataBase() {
// connect reader to the CSV file
var reader = new StreamReader(File.OpenRead(@locationOfCSVFile));
if (reader == null) {
return false;
But I get an error message saying "The name 'File' does not exist in the current context". I have googled around a bit but can´t find an easy way to do it. Is there not any good way of doing this in WinRT? Should I convert my csv file to something
else?

Hi PontusL,
As I can see from your code, you are trying to read a file from a forbidden place, see this for more information:

Hi,
first approach is,
   1. in cilent proxy report to call 'GUI_UPLOAD' function module ,    in exporting, filetype = 'txt', filename.
second approach is,
   2. you can you message transformation bean in you mail receiver communication channel.

How to handle a comma in a field in CSV file during FCC ?

Hi,

Reading a csv file in Labview

I need to be able to read a 2D csv file and pull the data out by rows for use in an I/O write. I am working with a Lakeshore 331 temperature controller and need to be able to write parameters from a csv file to the temp controller. There are three columns of data; Set temp, Stabilization time, and Tolerance. I need to be able to switch between using tolerance data and a time switch to change a boolean to true. That true boolean needs to be able to be able to light a "Temp Stabilized Flag" and run a loop to the next row of data points were the previous row of written data points will be replaced by the following row. Basically, when one row of desired parameters is achieved, the program reads the next row of parameters and uses them as the standard until those parameter points are achieved. This process will continue until the entire list is exhausted. I am unable to find a way to read the csv by rows. My initial thought was to use the "Read Text" function and convert the string to the three seperate data points but I was unable to make that work. I have attached an example csv file, a rough draft file of what I need in order to write the data to the 331(which is entirely unfinished but provides a basic idea of where I am coming from), and my full project in case it helps. Please help me find a way to pull each row of data points individually in the previously mentioned cycle.
Thank You,
Matt

I suggest you look at using the subVI Spreadsheet String to Array from the palette to convert the csv file to an array of parameters then you can use a for loop to index through the data elements one row at a time. You may need to use an index primitive or internal loop to process the data.
If you check out the examples through the "Example Finder" you will most likely discover a good starting point for your problem.
