Parse-O-Matic?

[raybo]

Has anyone used a program called "Parse-O-Matic" downloadable from Parse-O-Matic.com (http://www.parse-o-matic.com) ?

There is a free version available (windows based) that will convert .csv files. I downloaded it but it appears that you need to be a programmer in order to write the script files.

It slices, it dices, it chops, it crops, make waffle fries with.... oh, wait, I'm thinking Veg-o-matic. :rolleyes:

I just downloaded it and will fool around with it tonight and let you know if I can get anything.....

Good deal, if it's worth it, and you can write a basic script for parsing the Bris DRF Single file data file for importation into Excel/Access, I'd be willing to give you a few bucks for the script.

Trying again today...my first impression is.....huh????

I used the commercial version for a similar purpose several years ago and you're right, being a programmer is a big help. If Tom doesn't have any luck with it let me know by PM and I can give it a go.

LOL. Me too.

Football and nappy time got the better of me.
I'll try again during the week.

Thanks, Tom is pretty sharp, I bet he figures it out. I'm trying to get away from the DOS program, "Infotran", for parsing Bris data files. It's not that big of a deal really but I haven't figured out a way to automate Infotran using Excel macros, probably would have to write a windows program in order to do it and that's out of my league.

.........or the manual is badly wriitten for me to understand.........I could not get to the first step.........gave up!!

Here is a program that I wrote a while back to break down the single into multi. You could modify the code as required.

View the README.TXT file because it does require running php under a dos window.

I haven't worked on the code in over a year becuase of my dad's poor health. I may add it back on my list of things to do now that he has passed.

Thanks, but I'm trying to get away from DOS, I already have a DOS parser that works great but isn't automate-able which requires typing in the name of the source file, name of the control file, name of the target file, and "y" or "n" 2 times and finally a number. It's not all that bad but am trying to find one that will allow selecting the source file via a list box, for example, and then uses the same inputs for the other things every time. Their would be no need to type the control file or the target file or answer the other questions, as they never change.

Why don't you send us some of your sample data files and tell us what you'd like to extract?

If it's not too complicated, we'll just do it at no charge, or at the very least, get you started.

Thanks.
