Read txt Files and populate a Table
Posted: Thu Nov 19, 2015 9:35 pm
Hi,
I'm looking for some help, and hoping someone here will have a clue on where to start with this.
what I'm trying to do is read separate text files that are in over 200 folders on a UNC patch, its the same filename in each folder IE:-
\\server01\TEST\Folder1\test.txt
\\server01\TEST\Folder2\test.txt
\\server01\TEST\Folder3\test.txt
Etc
The first line of text is a name, the second is a date. I'm looking to get livecode to search for these files, the put the name into 1 column and the date into the next - then sort into date order.
anyone done something similar or know how to do this?
Thanks in advance
