I am using the vbscript activity to read a tab delimited text file.

using the split statement below does not split string, so what should the split character be or how should i be parsing the line into fields, (cant use space or comma)

 

 

Dim sr As StreamReader = New StreamReader(my_file_path)

Do While sr.Peek() > 0

     py_text = sr.readline()

 

     if py_text.length > 0 then

        py_array = py_text.Split(New [Char]() {CChar("\t")})

    endif

Loop

  Hi Jeff,

  A nice and clean way of doing this is to use ControlChars:

  py_array = py_text.Split(ControlChars.Tab)

  ControlChars is in Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll.

  Cheers

         py_array = py_text.Split(microsoft.visualbasic.ControlChars.Tab)

   

  so you have to specify the whole name space instead of just the last part!

  but thanks for helping and getting me on the right track!
