SSIS: C# script task (create a multidimensional array)

  • Dear Forum members,

    I have a txt file which has several lines. below is a sample of those lines:

    Data sample:

    | 20171128| 20171128| 1176901|     1953|   3655228| 20171128| Quarterly      | 0|         0.06250|         0.06250|         0.04375|         0.04375| USD| 1.000|    1.00000|   336702111.0000

    Each line has several attributes delimited by "|"

    using an C# task,  what is the best way to create an array that will store each line with its attributes?

    Can you please help me with a code sample?

    Thank you

    Please describe why you want to do this in C#, rather than a straightforward data flow.
    What are you going to do with this array, once it is populated?

    What are you going to do with this array, once it is populated?

    This is a very complex txt file. I am creating a c# to devide it into several excel files. So far I was already able to create a normal array which olds the columns. Now I need one that olds the records of those columns.   Instead of a multidimensional array, I can also have a normal array, like starting with # and then have the records and then another # before a new line (new records begin again).    I think I will first have to split the line using a split function and then, line by line populate the array starting and ending with *

    OK, are you using a script component with multiple outputs (one for each file type) to do this? If yes, all you need to do, for each row, is as follows:

    1) Determine file type
    2) Split the row into its elements
    3) Assign the elements to a new output row, with the output corresponding to the file type required.
