How to read CSV position file

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by DELDYN 508

Hi,

If let's say we have a text file with those 2 lines:

AB11  234

CD12  567

XA1245789

This means the max position here is 9 ( there are spaces in the middle for the 2 lines)

i need to upload this file, and after uploading it, i need to read it like this:

Let's say first 2 positions means name

After it, 4 positions mean number

And last 3 positions means specialNumber

I want to read it by printing this:

Name: AB

Number: 12

Special number:234

Name: CD

Number: 12

Special number:567

Name: XA

Number: 1245

Special number:789

How can i do the reading?

    function readTextFile() {

       file.open("filename.txt", "r");  // Open the file for reading

       while (!file.eof()) {  // Read until the end of the file

           string line = file.readLine();  // Read a line from the file

           string name = line.substring(0, 2);  // Extract the name

           string number = line.substring(2, 6);  // Extract the number

           string specialNumber = line.substring(6, 9);  // Extract the special number

           // Print the extracted information

           print("Name: " + name);

           print("Number: " + number);

           print("Special number: " + specialNumber);

           print();

       }

       file.close();  // Close the file

    }

    readTextFile();  // Call the function to read and process the text file
