Hi All,

I have a file with variable row length like this:

MAMMOGRAPHY INC,XXXXX1706,XXXXXXXX4708,
ABC INC.,XXXXX0742,XXXXXX2401,

I need to store the "MAMMOGRAPHY INC" in a data table as Name and K2CLICK INC should also be saved in the same data table as Name...Is there a way where these can be done in the same logic.Please help.

Thanks.

First, what does sorting have to do with your question? Second, where is this K2CLICK INC coming from? Third, what have you tried? Did you try Split? SubString?

Since you didnt give alot of info i will do my best,

From the sample you provided,

MAMMOGRAPHY INC,XXXXX1706,XXXXXXXX4708,
ABC INC.,XXXXX0742,XXXXXX2401,

It appears your dealing with comma separated values. Your best bet is to split on the comma

And the store the values in the appropriate columns in your database, with an insert

or an update

Hope that helps,
