I have a query regarding combining multiple rows, which I need to combine into 1 row.

I work in Income tax department and we generate various registers from a oracle database server... Many of them are in multiple rows.. An example is like this :-



DEMAND REGISTER


================================================================================================================
SL. NAME AY ASSESSED GROSS TAX PREPAID TAXES TOTAL TAX
NO. ADDRESS ACK NO. INCOME INTEREST TOTAL PREPAID
NET DEMAND
================================================================================================================
1 ABC 2007-08 1000000 100000 100000 125000
DEF ROAD 101 25000 100000
HIJ AVENUE 25000
INDIA


I would like to add the rows. I don't have access to the server data. Only report in *.lis / *.txt is available.

Just give me the idea to combine... I will try to code it

read the string line by line and append into a single string until you want then show it in a text box or write it into a file

sequential file handling in vb6 is in the tutorial section

Thanks..

The file is paged like this 1-1, 1-2, 2-1, 2-2, 3-1....

Refund Released

These two pages are to be merged into a single dbf which will be used for mail merging for letters for high demand, high refund, high prepaid taxes etc..

I will post the my code in 2 days.. ( It will take atleast taht much days for me to code in trial and error )
in the menatime you try to solve it and compare with mine.

Thanks

Just another suggestion, which is along similar lines (unless it is the same line).

Read into a variable, looping, and just add the new data.

'start loop
LOOP

'clear the variables of data
Var1 = ""
Var2 = ""

'read from file
Read Line1
'load first line into first variable
Var1 = Line1

'add the first line/variable to the second (running total) variable
Var2 = Var2 + Var1

'loop until end of file
LOOP Until (EOF(1))

With that:
1
2
3
4
5
Will become
Var2 = 12345

You can separate with a tab (using ASCII)

Or you could use an array to store every single line (though that requires more time/effort/space).

Thanks..

How can i made the search for one page at a time and joining the lines between the "------" and the next "------"?

[Quin]

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean.

[svshastry]

namaste to all,

I am sorry for the delay in reply. I had an accident and was on rest for two months.

My question is

How to add the lines of the following text file and convert it into a dbf.

The report is generated from a Oracle server in lis format.

The report has entries to the length of two pages..

This will be the first page numbered 1-1

"REPORT ID : LRDNCR
