Read .csv File and Update DB

I have a .csv file with about 11 columns and multiple rows.
I need to read this file and from each row extract the first
4 columns and update my local database.
If the value if 1st column (unique#) is already in DB do an
Update else do an Insert.
How do I read this .csv file and accomplish this goal?

You read the file with <cffile>
It then becomes nested lists. For the outer list, your
delimiter is chr(10). Each list item is a row from your file. For
your inner list, the delimiter is a comma.
That should get you started. Details list functions and
<cffile> are in the cfml reference manual. If you don't have
one, the internet does.

Very simple example:

var column2 = new List<string>();
using (var rd = new StreamReader("filename.csv"))
while (!rd.EndOfStream)
var splits = rd.ReadLine().Split(';');
column1.Add(splits[0]);
column2.Add(splits[1]);
// print column1
Console.WriteLine("Column 1:");
foreach (var element in column1)
Console.WriteLine(element);
// print column2
Console.WriteLine("Column 2:");
foreach (var element in column2)
Console.WriteLine(element);

Read a csv file and update sql db

I'm a newbie to C#. I've put together the code below - see two commented lines where the for loop starts. need advise as to the correct approach. you may insert pseudo
code in appropriate places. Thanks in advance.
Below is my code:
public class MailingConfirmationService
private SqlConnection _con = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("ConnectionString"));
public void ProcessFilesForMailingConfirmation()
//Process file(s)
IResource resourceFile = ResourceFactory.GetResourceFile(ResourceList.FileLocation);
DirectoryInfo dataFiles = new DirectoryInfo(resourceFile.GetString("filesourcelocation"));
if (dataFiles.GetFiles().Length > 0)
log.Info("File Processing started");
foreach (FileInfo dataFile in dataFiles.GetFiles("*.csv"))
log.Info("Processing Data File: " + dataFile.Name);
if (dataFile != null && dataFile.Name.Contains("IN"))
foreach (string sLine in File.ReadLines(dataFile))
    _con.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
_con.Close();

The   foreach (string sLine in File.ReadLines(dataFile))
should be  foreach (string sLine in File.ReadLines(dataFile.FullName))
its expecting path as param.

SQL server 2014 and VS 2013 - Dataflow task, read CSV file and insert data to SQL table

Hello everyone,
I was assigned a work item wherein, I've a dataflow task on For Each Loop container at control flow of SSIS package. This For Each Loop container reads the CSV files from the specified location one by one, and populates a variable with current
file name. Note, the tables where I would like to push the data from each CSV file are also having the same names as CSV file names.
On the dataflow task, I've Flat File component as a source, this component uses the above variable to read the data of a particular file. Now, here my question comes, how can I move the data to destination, SQL table, using the same variable name?
I've tried to setup the OLE DB destination component dynamically but it executes well only for first time. It does not change the mappings as per the columns of the second CSV file. There're around 50 CSV files, each has different set off columns
in it. These files needs to be migrated to SQL tables using the optimum way.
Does anybody know which is the best way to setup the Dataflow task for this requirement?
Also, I cannot use Bulk insert task here as we would like to keep a log of corrupted rows.
Any help would be much appreciated. It's very urgent.
Thanks, <b>Ankit Shah</b> <hr> Inkey Solutions, India. <hr> Microsoft Certified Business Management Solutions Professionals <hr> http://ankit.inkeysolutions.com

The standard Data Flow Task supports only static metadata defined during design time. I would recommend you check the commercial COZYROC
Data Flow Task Plus. It is an extension of the standard Data Flow Task and it supports dynamic metadata at runtime. You can process all your input CSV files using a single Data Flow Task
Plus. No programming skills are required.

Is there a way to select a certain box of elements from a csv file and read that into LabVIEW?

Hello all, I was wondering if there was a way to select only a certain "box" of elements from a .csv file in LabVIEW? I have LabVIEW 2011 and my main goal is to take two arrays and graph them against each other. I can import the .csv file just fine and separate each row and each column to be its own, but say I have an 8X8 but want to graph the middle 4X5 or something like that. Is there any way to extract an array without starting at the beginning and without ending at the end? Thank you in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Szklanam,
as a CSV file is just a TXT file with a different suffix you can read a certain number of lines of that file. So you can limit the number of rows in your resultung array. To limit the number of columns you still have to use ArraySubset, so maybe it's a lot easier to read the full CSV file and pick the interesting spots with ArraySubset...

VBScript to read the content of a .csv file and delete old files mentioned in the .csv

I have a Windows 2003 file server.
I have generated a report in .csv format, about the files which are older than 1 year.
I need a VBScript to read the .csv file and delete the files which are enlisted there.
Can someone please help me with this?

Read from csv file and plot particular columns

Hello,
I`m a new user of Labview and here it comes...my first major problem.
Maybe this has been discussed before. I’ve made a search to solve my problem first but I couldn`t find anything helpful so I `ve decided to post a new message.
So here is my problem:
I`m working in a small semiconductor lab where different types of nitrides are grown using proprietary reactor. The goal is to read the collected csv files from each growth in Labview and plot the acquired data in appropriate graphs.
I have a bunch of csv files and I have to make a Labview program to read them.
The first part of my project I`ve decided to be displaying the csv file (growth log file) under labview (which I think works fine).
The second one is to be able to plot particular columns from the recipe in graphs in Labview (that one actually gives me a lot of trouble):
1. Timestamp vs Temperature /columns B and D/
2. Timestamp vs Gas flow /columns L to S/
3. Timestamp vs Pressure /columns E,K,T,U,V/
I`ve got one more problem. How can I convert the Timestamp shown in csv file to human readable date in labview? This actually is a big problem, because the timestamp is my x axis and I want to know at what time a particular process took place and I also want to be able to see the converted timestamp when displaying csv file at first. I`ve read a lot about time stamping in excel and timestamp in labview but I`m still confused how to convert it in my case.
I don`t have problems displaying csv file under Labview. My problems are with the timestamp and the graphs.
Sorry for my awful English. I hope you can understand my problems since English is not my mother language.
Please find the attached files.
If you have any ideas or suggestions I`ll be more than happy to discuss them.
Thank you in advance.
Have a nice day!

Powershell script to update a field value (recursively) in sharepoint form a .CSV file and not changing the updated by value

need to run through a list of old to new data (.csv) file and change them in a sharepoint list - can not make it work
here is my base attempt.
$web = Get-SPWeb site url
$list = $web.lists["List Name"]
$item = $list.items.getitembyid(select from the items.csv old)
$modifiedBy = $item["Editor"]
#Editor is the internal name of the Modified By column
$item["old"] = "new from the .csv file parsed by power sehll
$ite.Syste,Update($false);
$web.Dispose()

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to update SharePoint field value from a CSV file recursively.
We can import CSV file using the Import-CSV –path command, then update the field value in the foreach loop.
Here is a code snippet for your reference:
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
$csvVariable= Import-CSV -path "http://sp2010.contoso.com/finance/"
# Destination site collection
$WebURL = "http://sp2010.contoso.com/sites/Utility/"
# Destination list name
$listName = "Inventory"
#Get the SPWeb object and save it to a variable
$web = Get-SPWeb -identity $WebURL
#Get the SPList object to retrieve the list
$list = $web.Lists[$listName]
#Get all items in this list and save them to a variable
$items = $list.items
#loop through csv file
foreach($row in $csvVariable)
#loop through SharePoint list
foreach($item in $items)
$item["ID #"]=$row."ID #"
$item.Update()
$web.Dispose()
Here are some detailed articles for your reference:
