Let me first say "Thank You" to all those who have replied to previous postings!
Okay, here is what I have tried to do via a VB.NET Windows application-
1. Read .txt files from diskette(s) and store them in a database or dataset;
The .txt file is space delimited. An example looks like this -
(12 spaces+15 spaces+20 spaces+2 spaces)
Mike Smith 123 Something St. WA
David Watertown 23 My Ave. FL
Marianne Jones 23232 Her Pl. TX
Ed Horse 1-A Horse St. NY
I will need to read the text file from multiple diskettes, each one using the same file name. For example, the file on disk 1 is "SomeData.txt" which is 3000 lines long. The second disk is using the same file name but has another 3000 lines. Same for disk 3-6.
2. Read some data from an Excel worksheet, via diskette or email, and append that data to a database or dataset that was read after the above procedure.
3. Once the data was appended, regenerate a diskette set.
So, Ive tried and tried again but havent been able to make anything work. As I stated I wish this be a VB.NET Windows application (which I am primative to) and would greatly appriciate everyones help.
In advance,
Thank You
