Hi all,

My CSV file Contains Data like.
-----------------------------------

Ex: DriverID | CustomerID | Ship to ID | Load # | BOL Date/TimeStamp |
ProductN
520 | 2355 - | 1 | 61953 | ############ | 1 Eth 87

My XLS file Contains Data Like.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ex: Field Definition Length Starting Column Ending Column

TransType Some Definition 1 1 1
Termin ID Some Difinition 3 3 5
Term SPLC Some Difi 7 6 12

I got the Sorce code from net to Convert the .CSV file to .XLS file(but the
Problem is converted .XLS file is not in specified format, it should be like
above XLS file).


Source Code:(Convert .CSV file to .XLS file )


using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Reflection;
using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel;

namespace File_Conversion
{
class Program
{

I imported your data into excel recording a macro. Here is the code I got.
I used delimited and set a special delimiter character | to match your data.


Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
' Macro recorded 7/16/2007
'
'
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="TEXT;C:\TEMP\test.txt", _
Destination:=Range("A1"))
.Name = "test"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
.TextFilePlatform = 437
.TextFileStartRow = 1
.TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
.TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
.TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = False
.TextFileTabDelimiter = False
.TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = False
.TextFileCommaDelimiter = False
.TextFileSpaceDelimiter = False
.TextFileOtherDelimiter = "|"
.TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)
.TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With
Columns("E:E").ColumnWidth = 26.57
Range("E3").Select
End Sub

Considering there does not seem to be any correlation between the csv data
and the desired Excel format, it's not possible to advise.
Maybe a query in an Excel WB, so you can use SQL to control the order of the
columns.

This is not CSV (commar seperate values) data. The data is delimited using
the | character.

Your objective was to import a text file into excel. The textt file is not a
CSV (comma seperatted value). Your textt file is delimited withyh the |
character. the code I supplied simply imports the text file into excel using
the | as a delimiter. the key to importing your datta is tthe followingg two
lines in the macro.

.TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
.TextFileOtherDelimiter = "|"

It is Comma seperated value(,) only.

I have given the | to understand easily when reader were reading my
question submmission.

I tell my requirement in short:

1. CSV Input File is created by user
2. My Application reads data in from CSV file
3. My Application converts records from the CSV file to a new format(.XLS)

Hope I explained well.

If you need additional information please let me know...

Thanks,
Liyakhat.

We really can't see the problems without the actual data. i suspect
somebody took a delimited file with | and then covnverter the file to CSV. I
think using on the DATA Menu in excel Text to column and selecting the file
as delimited will solve the problem.

The only way this makes sense is if your "Excel format" (Length, Starting
Column, Ending Column etc) refer to the width of the records in your .csv
file.
If so, then the file is NOT a real CSV (Comma Separated Values) file, but a
fixed width format.
But then, I'm confused as to what "Length" means as DriverID is Length=1,
but has a value of 520 ???

Otherwise I still have no idea what you are trying to do.
