How to? Read CSV Specific Row and Columns?

[frankhack1]

Hi !

I have a .csv with 6 columns and 31 rows.

I need a script to read a .csv file from the beginning of the Column 5 and from the Row 2 (since the row 1 is the title I don't want to use that info) and all the info that is on Column 5 to Send each data and then {{TAB 2}} and send next data and {{TAB 2}} and so on till the end of the rows in Column 5.

THe script should only move from beginning to end on all the rows in column 5.

THis is what I have:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <string.au3>

; FUNCTION TO RECOGNIZE THE GOOGLE CHROME WINDOW
Func Chrome ()
AutoItSetOption('WinTitleMatchMode', 2)
$tbWin = 'Chrome'
WinActivate($tbWin)
EndFunc

' OPEN OR READ CSV FILE
$file = FileOpen("C:\Users\admin\Desktop\Dropbox\iMacros\Datasources\01_PISOS\Precios\Espana\Barcelona\NEW\Diciembre\NH_01\01.csv", 0)

If $file = -1 Then
   MsgBox(0, "error", "File doesn't exist or can't be read")
   Exit
EndIf

   ; Read in lines of text until the EOF is reached
While 1
    Local $line = FileReadLine($file)
    If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
   $input = StringSplit($line, ",")

Local $value1 = $input[5]

Send($value1)

WEnd

 

This is the content that I have on the .csv file:

"Day","Fecha","Month","Year","Estandar","Tarifa"
"L","1","12","2014","15","<SP>"
"M","2","12","2014","15","<SP>"
"X","3","12","2014","15","<SP>"
"J","4","12","2014","15","<SP>"
"V","5","12","2014","20","<SP>"
"S","6","12","2014","20","<SP>"
"D","7","12","2014","15","<SP>"
"L","8","12","2014","15","<SP>"
"M","9","12","2014","15","<SP>"
"X","10","12","2014","15","<SP>"
"J","11","12","2014","15","<SP>"
"V","12","12","2014","20","<SP>"
"S","13","12","2014","20","<SP>"
"D","14","12","2014","15","<SP>"
"L","15","12","2014","15","<SP>"
"M","16","12","2014","15","<SP>"
"X","17","12","2014","15","<SP>"
"J","18","12","2014","15","<SP>"
"V","19","12","2014","15","<SP>"
"S","20","12","2014","20","<SP>"
"D","21","12","2014","20","<SP>"
"L","22","12","2014","15","<SP>"
"M","23","12","2014","15","<SP>"
"X","24","12","2014","15","<SP>"
"J","25","12","2014","15","<SP>"
"V","26","12","2014","20","<SP>"
"S","27","12","2014","20","<SP>"
"D","28","12","2014","15","<SP>"
"L","29","12","2014","25","<SP>"
"M","30","12","2014","25","<SP>"
"X","31","12","2014","25","<SP>" 

And on Google Chrome I already have the website where I want the data to go, but I'm getting all this in one whole line:

"Estandar""15""15""15""15""20""20""15""15""15""15""15""20""20""15""15""15""15""15""15""20""20""15""15""15""15""20""20""15""25""25""25"

How can I avoid the 1st row "Estandar"

How can I take out the "" and just keep the data

How can I Send data then {{TAB 2}} Send next data then {{TAB 2}}

This an screenshot of where the data will go, basically, it should put a price on the each square and then send TAB twice to go to next square and put next data pulled from csv

You somehow managed to explain smth very simply very complicated.

Not sure I got you, but here's an example how to read your CSV. Uncomment commented string to read specific row and column and show it in dialog box.

expandcollapse popup

#include <Array.au3>

Global $a = ReadCSV ("D:\Temp\Test.csv")
_ArrayDisplay ($a)
;MsgBox (0, "", StringReplace ($a[4][3], """", ""))

Func ReadCSV ($p_csv_file)
  Local $file = FileOpen ($p_csv_file)
  If $file = -1 Then  Return SetError (1, 0, 0)

  Local $s = FileRead ($file)
  FileClose ($file)

  Return StringToArray ($s, false, ",")
EndFunc

Func StringToArray ($p_string, $p_transpose_1d = false, $p_delim_col = "|", $p_delim_row = @CRLF, $p_arr_delim_col = Chr (31), $p_arr_delim_row = Chr (30))
  Local $array, $rows, $cols, $last_row, $last_col

  $rows = StringSplit ($p_string, $p_delim_row, 3)
  $last_row = UBound ($rows) - 1

  If $last_row < 1 Then
    ;Array rows = 0
    $cols = StringSplit ($p_string, $p_delim_col, 3)
    $last_col = UBound ($cols) - 1

    If $last_col < 1 Then
      ;Array rows = 0, columns = 0
      Dim $array[1]
      If StringInStr ($p_string, $p_arr_delim_col) or StringInStr ($p_string, $p_arr_delim_row) Then
        $array[0] = StringToArray ($p_string, $p_transpose_1d, $p_arr_delim_col, $p_arr_delim_row)
      Else
        $array[0] = $p_string
      EndIf
    Else
      ;Array rows = 0, columns > 0
      Dim $array[$last_col + 1]
      For $i = 0 To $last_col
        If StringInStr ($cols[$i], $p_arr_delim_col) or StringInStr ($cols[$i], $p_arr_delim_row) Then
          $array[$i] = StringToArray ($cols[$i], $p_transpose_1d, $p_arr_delim_col, $p_arr_delim_row)
        Else
          $array[$i] = $cols[$i]
        EndIf
      Next
    EndIf
    If $p_transpose_1d Then _ArrayTranspose ($array)
  Else
    ;Array rows > 0
    $last_col = 0
    For $i = 0 To $last_row
      StringReplace ($rows[$i], $p_delim_col, "")
      If @extended > $last_col Then $last_col = @extended
    Next

    If $last_col < 1 Then
      ;Array rows > 0, columns = 0
      Dim $array[$last_row + 1]
      For $i = 0 To $last_row
        If StringInStr ($rows[$i], $p_arr_delim_col) or StringInStr ($rows[$i], $p_arr_delim_row) Then
          $array[$i] = StringToArray ($rows[$i], $p_transpose_1d, $p_arr_delim_col, $p_arr_delim_row)
        Else
          $array[$i] = $rows[$i]
        EndIf
      Next
    Else
      ;Array rows > 0, columns > 0
      Dim $array[$last_row + 1][$last_col + 1]
      For $i = 0 To $last_row
        $cols = StringSplit ($rows[$i], $p_delim_col, 3)
        If $last_col > UBound ($cols) - 1 Then ReDim $cols[$last_col + 1]
        For $n = 0 To $last_col
          If StringInStr ($cols[$n], $p_arr_delim_col) or StringInStr ($cols[$n], $p_arr_delim_row) Then
            $array[$i][$n] = StringToArray ($cols[$n], $p_transpose_1d, $p_arr_delim_col, $p_arr_delim_row)
          Else
            $array[$i][$n] = $cols[$n]
          EndIf
        Next
      Next
    EndIf
  EndIf

  If not IsString ($p_string) Then SetError (1)
  If $p_string = "" Then SetError (2)

  Return $array
EndFunc

I use this >UDF to parse a CSV file into an array.

frankhack1 and water,

_FileReadToArray will parse a CSV file into an array from v3.3.12.0 on...

Ops. Seems I'm not up to date

HI !

With the other scripts that you gave me, I couldn't understanded it.

But mine is more or less I got what I want, but I need to send TAB twice in order to jump to next box, please check video and you will see that all the info extracted from the .csv is going to the same place and this is wrong = 

This is how it should work = 

What I'm missing is the TAB part, also I want to start reading from the 2 line since the 1st line are the titles.

My code modified is this:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <string.au3>

; FUNCTION TO RECOGNIZE THE GOOGLE CHROME WINDOW
Func Chrome ()
AutoItSetOption('WinTitleMatchMode', 2)
$tbWin = 'Chrome'
WinActivate($tbWin)
EndFunc

; OPEN OR READ CSV FILE
$file = FileOpen("c:/01.csv", 0)

If $file = -1 Then
   MsgBox(0, "error", "File doesn't exist or can't be read")
   Exit
EndIf

   ; Read in lines of text until the EOF is reached
While 1
    Local $line = FileReadLine($file)
    If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
   $input = StringSplit($line, ",")

Local $value1 = $input[5]

$aCsvData = StringReplace($value1, """", "")
Call("Chrome")
Send($aCsvData)

WEnd

Of course you can easily extract the col (without title) using something like this

#Include <Array.au3>
$txt = FileRead("1.csv")
$res = StringRegExp($txt, '(?m)^(?:.*?,){4}"(\d+)', 3)
 _ArrayDisplay($res)

Sending to browser is another story
