    Hi guys,

    I have a .csv file wich has the following information (exactly like this):

    List Name: User

    Format Version:1.2.5.0

    Date:12/11/2012 12:00:34

    Equipment.:L6867000214

    IP:172.21.12.62

    User,Name,Total,B&W

    [1600],[technical],76,76

    [6611],[Daise],559,559

    [900301],[Richard],0,0

    I want to execute a create table and a bulk insert transaction but I don't know how to insert the information of the top lines of the .csv file like "Equipment.:L6867000214" and "IP:172.21.12.62". I need to create a collumn called "Equipment", other collumn called "IP" and insert this information (repeat "L6867000214" and "172.21.12.62" in all records bulk inserted). The result must be like this:

    IP,Equipment.,User,Name,Total,B&W, Color

    172.21.12.62,L6867000214,[1600],[technical],76,76

    172.21.12.62,L6867000214,[6611],[Daise],559,559

    172.21.12.62,L6867000214,[900301],[Richard],0,0

    I have no ideia how to do that. Could anyone here help me out on this issue?

    Thanks a lot!

    Do you ever have multiple "List Name" sections with their matching user data lists (ie: full multiple sets of what you posted) in the same file? Also, what do the brackets signify in the data? Do they simply signify alpha-numeric information as opposed to just numeric information?

    And, do you really want a CSV output as you've indicated or are you just using the commas to show which columns in a final table you want?

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
