Embarcadero Developer Network - Status Inquiry

[TimC 0]

Has the Embarcadero developer network forum and code central been abandoned?  I can locate Code Central but cannot access the threads and I cannot land on the developer network forum at all.

 

Has all that information been lost?

Yes, both of them are history.

Not all lost...just not as easily accessible.  Do you have a particular CodeCentral item that you are interested in?

CSV file handling and handling

[Darian Miller 361]

I didn't find a lot on CodeCentral for CSV.  There was an ancient demo of a component from WinSoft. https://www.winsoft.sk/csv.htm   Another article with Java code but not much else.

 

Might want to checkout GitHub

Here's a blog post on using FireDAC for CSV: https://blogs.embarcadero.com/this-is-how-to-easily-process-csv-data-using-firedac/

TStringList handles most requirements for CSV handling with the CommaText method, you can change the delimiter if needed.

 

You read one line at a time into TStringList.CommaText  and get one line per column, or vice versa to create a CSV record.  The file can be read or written with a second TStringList or sequentially with normal file handling code if large.

For creating csv files I wrote this a while ago:

 

https://sourceforge.net/p/dzlib/code/HEAD/tree/dzlib/trunk/src/u_dzCsvWriter.pas

 

I thought I also had a similiar unit/class for reading csv files, but I can't find it right now.
