I am trying to compare two pipe-delimited text files which have been
exported from an Access database.
Thing is that I need to compare each record by the primary key
(CodeNumber) and if there are differences then I need to put the
different record into another text file.
Can anyone help me with this? I keep getting told that this would be
easy, but I have very limited experience with coding.
Thank you in advance for your attention and any help that you can
give me.
Will these files ALWAYS have the same structure? Specifically, will they
always have the same number of fields with the same data types, and will
both be in the same format? (For example, will one ever have Primary
Key|First Name|Phone while the other has Primary Key|Phone|First Name?)
You need to explain a bit more about what you're trying to do, hopefully
with some sample data. I have a couple of ideas but I need to understand the
problem better.
