Hi
I have an ASCII file that I try to import via the COPY command. The ASCII file is pipe delimited. Some lines in the file have no value in the last field and because there is no value in the last field, it also omits the last delimiter. It therefore seems that some lines have 11 columns while some other lines have 10 columns although these 10 columns correspond with the first 10 columns of lines that contain 11 columns. The omission of the last delimiter apparently is an accordance with the CSV files standard.
Apart from editing the ASCII files, is there a way to import these files that contain lines of variable length?
Louis
