Reading a Delimited File Using ASP.Net and VB.Net
(Page 1 of 6 )
New to .NET? Wondering how to split contents using a delimiter? No problem, this latest article from Ajaykumar shows you just how easy reading the contents of a delimited file can be.
The following article will detail how to read a delimited text file using ASP.Net or VB.Net, which will explain various aspects of a delimited file, code explanation and source code.
We must be aware of importing data into a database. Data which is used for importing is normally in the form of a text file. These files are also called comma separated value files, which will normally have a .csv extension.
In either case, whether it’s a text file or a .csv file, all the values are delimited using a character. This particular character, which is used for separating the values, is called the delimiter. This delimiter may be a word, a letter, a tab, or a space.
Let us have a look at an example of how these delimited files may be laid-out:
Example: Comma-Delimited File:
Value1, Value2, Value3, Value4, Value5
In the above example, we can see a comma between the words Value1 Value2 until Value 5.
Example: Tab-Delimited File
Value1 Value2 Value3 Value4 Value5
In the above example we are able to see a tab between all the values.
