Importing a file without delimiters

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by SKO 451

Hi 

I am trying to import a file without delimiters and its a transaction file with one long string having divided by 120 characters. I could not handle it through code as AX supports only string size of 65000 characters.  I have used the commaio class but it does not read all the data and randomly reads only a portion of data.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

    So you can read file to a string now.

    Use https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa677836.aspx in a loop to split it.
