Hi All,
i have created how to read file and then insert to NAV
like this

SFile.TEXTMODE(TRUE);
SFile.WRITEMODE(FALSE);
SFile.OPEN(GLSetup."Import Path" + 'TestItem.txt');
  REPEAT 
	//codeinsert to NAV
  UNTIL SFile.POS = SFile.LEN;

but this one is I did it using hardcode
which is only can read TestItem.txt
how to read all the txt file in GLSetup."Import Path" ??
and how to read only the file which start with "ABC" ?
thanks

Try

SFile.SETRANGE(Path,GLSetup."Import Path");
// Name Filter
IF SFile.FINDSET THEN
  REPEAT
     // Read the file and insert into NAV
  UNTIL SFile.Next = 0;

Create new global variable with Datatype record and Subtype File
Use that for Filtering..

and how about to change the file name ?
this part -->

SFile.OPEN(GLSetup."Import Path" + 'TestItem.txt');

for example i just want to read every txt file start with "ABC"

Add your Name filter just below Path..

Hi Mohana,
now it works
thanks for your help

final code

GLSetup.GET;
SFile1.SETRANGE(Path,GLSetup."Import Path");
SFile1.SETRANGE("Is a file",TRUE);
IF SFile1.FINDSET THEN
REPEAT
SFile.TEXTMODE(TRUE);
SFile.WRITEMODE(FALSE);
SFile.OPEN(GLSetup."Import Path" + SFile1.Name);
  REPEAT
.

Welcome

I am getting errors using either global or local variable for the record type File
the code so far is:
Local Vars:
Name DataType Subtype Length

lvFile	                Record	File	
lvField	        Text		                   100
lvWebImport	Record	Web Import 1	
lvString	        Text		                   1000
lvStringLine         Text                             1000
lvFile1	        File		

CLEAR(lvFile);
lvFile.setrange(path,'C:\temp\');
lvfile.setfilter(name, '%1' , 'test*.txt');
if lvFile.FINDSET THEN BEGIN

(next 3 lines give error)

//LVfile.TEXTMODE(TRUE);
//LVFile.WRITEMODE(FALSE);
//LVFile.OPEN(lvFile.path + name);

? How to get text lines in the file into lvString?

  with lvString do
  repeat
  lvField[1] := copystr(lvStringLine,1,20);
  etc
  until lvString.next = 0;
  
end;

I am obviously missing something key here, I can find my .txt files, I then need to read each file and for each line in the file insert to a field in a table.

Use LVFile1 instead of LVFile

You are correct, these work.
LVfile1.TEXTMODE(TRUE);
LVFile1.WRITEMODE(FALSE);
LVFile1.OPEN(lvFile.path + lvfile.name);

next question is how do I read the data within lvFile1 into a table?

Hi Mohana,

How to find Dataport imported file path.

My requirement is to find the path of the file selected by user and create an exception file in the same path

Thanks
