Import ASCII dates with different format

[Brad_Turpin]

Hi Rafael,

First parse the group name, then execute the following line to move the file cursor back to the start of the file and proceed with your DataPlugin as-is.

File.Position = 0

Hi Brad,

I was happy for the easy solution but it doesn't work.

the command doesn't do any thing, not to the line 0 not to the line x,

i'm still missing the first line of data.

For sure is something on my procedure, can you please check it ?

Thanks

Rafael

Hi caracasnet,

The oFile.Position = 0 did work, but where you had it in the code did not achieve your goal. In this case you don't want the string Block to start at the beginning of the file, you want it to start at the beginning of the second line, so you have 3 choices:

1)  Declare the string Block after reading the 1st line and before reading the second line

2)  Read DataPos=oFile.Position after reading the 1st line, then assign oBlock.Position=DataPos after creating oBlock

3)  Use oFile.Position = 0, then Call oFile.SkipLine, then create oBlock, which by default uses the current file cursor

I used option 1) above, because it was simplest, here's the resulting DataPlugin,
