Data File tool Help for comma seperated file

[Alex D. Fleming]

Hi,
 
 I would like to parse a text file through Data File Tool.I have seen the description in the old wiki.And it gives example of the Fixed width and Fixed Record.I am looking for any solution for the following comma separated file.
 
 "admin","PARTY_GROUP"
 "flexadmin","PERSON"
 "flexadmin1","PERSON"
 "flexadmin3","PERSON"
 
 Please give me some hint to change this shema definition file to handle above comma seperated file.Because it is not generating the xml file.
 ****************************
 
<data-file name="party" separator-style="delimited" type-code="text" delimiter=",">
   <record name="Party" limit="many">
     <field name="partyId" type="String"/>
     <field name="partyTypeId" type="String"/>
   </record>
</data-file>

********************

Please tell me what I am missing ???

 Thx
 Alex D. Fleming

Alex,

I did a quick test and I could create the file.
Here is the complete definition I've used:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<data-files xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://www.ofbiz.org/dtds/datafiles.xsd">
<data-file name="party" separator-style="delimited" type-code="text"
delimiter=",">
    <record name="Party" limit="many">
      <field name="partyId" type="String"/>
      <field name="partyTypeId"
  type="String"/>
    </record>
</data-file>
</data-files>

And here are the steps I've followed:

1) go to https://localhost:8443/webtools/control/viewdatafile
2) enter the complete path to the above file in the first field
3) submit the form
4) the second field is now a drop down box; select the only entry
present there: "party"
5) in the third field (Data Filename or URL:) enter the path to the csv
file containing your data
6) in the last field (Save to entity xml file:) enter the path to the
xml file you want to create (if you leave this field empty the output
will be on screen)

However you have to remove all the " from your csv file because they
will mess the xml file; i.e. the supported format is this:

admin,PARTY_GROUP
flexadmin,PERSON
flexadmin1,PERSON
flexadmin3,PERSON

Hope this helps,

Jacopo
