My question is regarding: Converting TXT to XML. My map has 2 lines. 1ST line works okay. After adding a second line and 1 field and runnning MAP, I get the message: "A line map was not found for line #0" and the 1st line of my TXT file is returned with a . at the end.
A LINE MAP WAS NOT FOUND FOR LINE #0

Not sure why the . at the end, but that error happens when no LINE is found who's Identifier matches the Identifier field in the text file.
For example, if your text file looked like this: CUST,Frank,Williams,801-233-3321 ORD,33.21,10-12-2005 etc... and inside your xmlLinguist map, the following properties need to be set: Document.IDPosition=0 Line1.Identifier=CUST Line2.Identifier=ORD If you don't have a line for both the CUST and the ORD lines, you would see that error. Remember that EVERY Line in the xmlLinguist map needs to have it's Identifier field populated. Double check those, and if you're still having problems, email me a copy of the map and the file you're using and I debug it further. -BKN |

I was able to review the files you'd sent me and turns out that there's a limitation in xmlLinguist and Flatfiles:
- The ID Field MUST be the same POSITION for EVERY line in the document - The ID Field MUST be the same LENGTH for EVERY line in the document. The problem with the files you'd sent me therefore, one line has "uiddocument" and the other is "contact", both of varying lengths. I'll see how soon I can get a fix, but the holidays and our current schedule may not allow something until Q1 of next year... -BKN |
