Problem

How can I read data from a text file in tab-delimited format?

Cause

Action

The PasteTextFromBuffer() can paste the text values from a buffer with tab-delimited data into the grid. The following example demonstrates how you can load data from a text file:

void CGridSampleView::OnImportTextFile()
{
// pop-up file-open dlg to ask for location
CfileDialog dlgFile(
TRUE,
_T(".txt"),
NULL,
OFN_HIDEREADONLY | OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT,
_T("Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt|All Files (*.*)|*.*||"));
if (dlgFile.DoModal() == IDCANCEL)
return;
CFile textFile;

if (!textFile.Open(dlgFile.GetFileName(), CFile::modeRead))
{
TCHAR sz[255];
wsprintf(sz, "File %s could not be opened!", dlgFile.GetFileName());
AfxMessageBox(sz);

return;
}

LPTSTR pszBuffer;
DWORD dwSize = textFile.GetLength();
pszBuffer = new TCHAR[dwSize];
textFile.Read(pszBuffer, dwSize);

PasteTextFromBuffer(pszBuffer, dwSize, CGXRange(0,1));
textFile.Close();

delete pszBuffer;
}
