Manipulating txt files - AtEndOfStream

Hi,

I have this issue with a .txt file that i need to extract the uniqueid's out of and then insert them into my table.

The .txt file will have either lines at the start that i need to remove before importing or lines at the end. I won't know how many lines will need to be removed until the users does something there end so the only option is to find the values from those lines that i know will appear in the txt file and get rid of them before inserting the data.

Problem is i can't get this working Any help would be great. thanks in advance.


Based on this sample data below we can see that any row containing the word query needs to be removed leaving just the uniqueid's

---------

querylast=select * from wce_contact where (propertyname LIKE '%sa%') ORDER BY LASTNAME, COMPANY
queryshow=select * from wce_contact where (propertyname LIKE '%sa%')

queryfield1=propertyname
queryoperator1=CONTAINS
queryvalue1=sa
querynot1=
queryor1=
querylp1=
queryrp1=

--------

Here is the code i am trying to work with.


Code:

Set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f=fs.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath(Filename), 1)

intLine = 1
Do While f.AtEndOfStream <> True
    ReadLineTextFile = f.ReadLine
    ' this says that if you are on line 1 or 2 and the word "select" is not in the line do something
    if  instr(ReadLineTextFile,"select") > 1 or instr(ReadLineTextFile, "query") < 2 Then
        
    'Select and Insert data
        
    response.write(ReadLineTextFile)&" <br/>"
    
    qrysel =  "SELECT * FROM wce_contact where uniqueid = '"&(f.ReadLine)&"'"
        Set oRssel = connStrmpro.Execute(qrysel)

    qryins =  "INSERT INTO listRecipients (idList, idEmail) VALUES ("&oRsgetidemail("idlist")&","&(oRssel("idemail"))&")"
        Set qryins = connStrmpro.Execute(qryins)        
    end if

    intLine = intLine + 1
 Loop
'response

For one thing, you're calling f.readline twice each time through your loop which means you'll be processing 2 input lines for each pass through the loop.

When you read each line you can test it for being empty or containing something you want to filter out, and if a line fails your tests you can skip the insert into the db for those bad lines.
