  • 1.  Merge two .dat file after matching first column row

    Posted 08-10-2021 11:19
    Hi Community,

    I am trying to  merge two .dat files after comparing that the  first row has the same columns. Syntax for the .dat file is as below(when I open with notepad)

    Project ID  Employee ID      Project Type
    XXXX         xxxxxxxxxxx       xx

    1 ) First I need to check if the column matches in both files
    2) After that I need to append the content of second file to first file after removing the header

    I thought of renaming .dat with .csv file,Append the records,save and rename back to .dat. but there were two problems :- 

    1 ) Headers are in japanese. When i change extension to .csv , japanese characters are getting replaced with some other weird character.
    2) When I append data to csv and rename back to .dat, " is added before the line and after the line as below

    "Project ID  Employee ID      Project Type"
    "XXXX         xxxxxxxxxxx       xx"

    Could someone please suggest how to proceed ?

    Hello Kritish,

    Can I suggest that when you try to save your .dat file as a csv, you change the Encoding default option and select "UTF-8 with BOM" instead and then try?
