DTS question

  • I don't know if this is the correct forum for this question, but here goes.

    I have the need to take a text file, covert it to a .csv format and add a character seperater at the end of each record then FTP the output to a Vendor. 

    Does this sound like a job for DTS package or am I going to have to start brushing up on my programming skills??    not sure how to proceed ???

  • Is it once or on a regular basis?

    Also, what is a record format now? Do you need to add commas?

    I would say it is a VBscript task, but again you may use VBscript inside DTS if you need to do it every day

  • I am not so familiar with VBscript but have made something similar in VB 6.

    The script can read a text file with a user defined field and row delimiter

    and print out a file with a user defined field delimiter like a , (row separator CR/LF. The script doesn't store the text file (but each row) in an variable (it can be a big file and the script is fast. Then the file can be sent by FTP using the component msinet.ocx.

    if intersted I can give you more details.
