    How to search for a string and replace it with a CRLF

    How to search for a string and replace it with a CRLF

    Q: Is it possible to search for a string and replace it with a CRLF (as we say in windows) [Return]

    The main issue is to replace <br/> with a carriage return Line feed

    A: Yes this is possible by adding the following script:

    • We used a Windows folder as Source:

    limagito file mover Windows folder as source

    • Because we only want to process text files, we added the following include filename filter:

    limagito file mover file filter setup

    • As Destination we added our Pascal Script option, do not forget to adjust the ctOutputPath const:
      • Please add the following script: link
      • This script will replace all <br/> entries by #13#10 (CRLF)

    limagito file mover destination setup

     

    #fileconversion #managedfiletransfer #filetransfer #filemanagement

    If you need any help with this question, please let us know.

    How to remove the header row from a CSV file

    How to remove the header row from a CSV file

    Q: We have a CSV file that contains a header row.  Is it possible for Limagito to remove the first row in the file when we move it to a new folder?  Both the start and ending locations are on a windows server.

    A: Yes, this is possible. Please have a look at the following screenshots.

    • The customer is using a Windows folder as Source so we used this also in our example:

    limagito file mover Windows folder as source

    • We added an include filename filter so we are 100% we’ll only pickup .csv files:

    limagito managedfiletransfer filename filter

    • In our Destination setup we added our ‘Pascal Script’ option:

    limagito managedfiletransfer destination setup

    • Please add the following script (v1): link
    • We also added an alternative for the first script. In this script you can enable or disable the “TrailingLineBreak = finishing line break” (v2): link
      • psSaveListToFile(tmpList, tmpOutputFile, False);
      • psSaveListToFile(tmpList, tmpOutputFile, True);
    • We even added a third possibility where you can change the encoding and BOM of the resulting Csv file (v3): link
    • If you would need a different option, please let us know, many options are possible.

    remove the header row

    • RunTime Log Result:

    remove the header row

    #csv #managedfiletransfer #filetransfer #filemanagement

    If you need any help with this ‘remove the header row’ question, please let us know.

    Split delimited files based on duplicate column

    Split delimited files based on duplicate column

    Q: We receive | (pipe) delimited files (no double quotes):

    Rvman International Inc. – US|CONTENT + US|1310001|0000000122|10/25/2023 1:54 PM
    Rvman International Inc. – US|CONTENT + US|1310002|0000000616|0/25/2023 2:10 PM
    Rvman International Inc. – US|CONTENT + US|1310002|0000000616|0/25/2023 2:10 PM

    Is it possible to create separate files of rows with the same content in column 4?

    The filename(s) would be incremental:

    original .csv

    Rvman International Inc. – US|CONTENT + US|1310001|0000000122|10/25/2023 1:54 PM

    original1.csv

    Rvman International Inc. – US|CONTENT + US|1310002|0000000616|0/25/2023 2:10 PM
    Rvman International Inc. – US|CONTENT + US|1310002|0000000616|0/25/2023 2:10 PM

    Thanks for such a great product!

    A: Yes this is possible using our Pascal Script option

    We used a Windows folder as Source. In this folder we’ll search for .csv files.

    limagito file mover as source

    Since we are only interested in .csv files we added a filename include filter. We want to be sure we’ll only handle .csv files.

    limagito filemover filename filter

    As Destination we used our Pascal Script option. Please replace the default Destination Pascal Script.

    You can download the script: here

    The script will read the csv file with  a pipe as delimiter (this can be adjusted > ctPipe constant). We’ll check the content of column 4 which is index 3 (TStringList = zero index based).

    tmpCol4 := tmpPipe.Strings[3];

    Limagito File Mover pascal script as destination

    Output Result:

    Split delimited files based on duplicate column

    RunTime Log Result:

    limagito file mover runtime log result

    #csv #managedfiletransfer #filetransfer #filemanagement

    If you need any help with this ‘Split delimited files based on duplicate column’ question, please let us know.
