I have a text file that contains information that needs to be imported into SQL table. However, the file isn't delimited in anyway. It contains a header row and the data inline below that. Here is an example:
Outstanding 1-15 Days 16-30 Days
31-45 Days 46-65 Days
Student Name Amount Past Due Past Due Past Due
Past Due
------------------ --------------- ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------
DEYOU, KATINA P -5.00 0.00
0.00 0.00 0.00
The only regualarity to the data is that the column length is denotes by the length of the hyphens and these can vary depending on the longest student name in the column. I what I need is a PowerShell script that will evaluate the length of each column by counting the number of hyphens (characters) for each column and save that information to variables. I then would need to read each line in the file and insert a comma at the end of each data element of in the columns. Like this:
Outstanding 1-15 Days 16-30 Days
31-45 Days 46-65 Days
Student Name Amount Past Due Past Due Past Due
Past Due
------------------- --------------- ------------ ------------ ------------ -------------
DEYOU, KATINA P, -5.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00,
Can anyone help me to solve this problem?
Thanks
