richietheprogrammer Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Hi guys, trying to see if I can get some help. Basically, I have an SQL server running. I need to be able to browse through a csv file that is on my lan from multiple computers. It has read issues (obviously) if I try to search through a scv file that is on the lan using multiple computers at once. So how can I use multiple computers connected to the lan and be able to search through one csv file that is on the lan at once? Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!

richietheprogrammer Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 like making a copy of it, and parsing that?Not sure if that will work. Is there a way for all the computers on the lan to access one csv file at once that way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Is there a way for them to access the information before it gets into the CSV file. You said it's on a SQL server, why not access the data in the database instead of a text file? This isn't really an AutoIT3 question, it's more of a Windows Server question, and should probably be directed to those that have more knowledge in regards to file locking and access. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

I just dont want to put the csv files on all the local drives, regardless of which way I can do them. Oh and I have my code ready in autoit, but it works with a csv on the c drive that is being accessed from one computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamtheky Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 if the first line of your script copies that file to a location on their local machine, then they parse that or make a copy in the current csv location with a unique string appended, like their @computername, then they parse that suppose you my want to also delete the copies when finished reading. ,-. .--. ________ .-. .-. ,---. ,-. .-. .-. .-. |(| / /\ \ |\ /| |__ __||| | | || .-' | |/ / \ \_/ )/ (_) / /__\ \ |(\ / | )| | | `-' | | `-. | | / __ \ (_) | | | __ | (_)\/ | (_) | | .-. | | .-' | | \ |__| ) ( | | | | |)| | \ / | | | | | |)| | `--. | |) \ | | `-' |_| (_) | |\/| | `-' /( (_)/( __.' |((_)-' /(_| '-' '-' (__) (__) (_) (__) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamtheky Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) Not specifically, im suggesting you make a copy of the file to any location that user can read from, do your reading from the copy. Thusly, if in your solution all users make their copies in the same location, ensure they are making copies with unique names. and then yes, i would probably delete the file when finished, to ensure that on the next run it was not somehow using an old file.
