    <p>I'm having difficulty combining some lines in a comma delimited text file if the first field is the same. This is my file:</p> <pre><code>Area 1 Chiller Grids aB aN and a1 a6,test,1,Ground Floor Framing Area 1 Chiller Grids aB aN and a1 a6,test,2,Monorails West Area 1 Chiller Grids aB aN and a1 a6,test,6,Roof Framing West Area 1 Chiller Grids aB aN and a1 a6,test,11,Bullnose West Area 2 Office Grids aN zA and a1 a6,101806,3,First Floor Framing East Area 2 Office Grids aN zA and a1 a6,101806,5,Mezz Floor Framing Area 2 Office Grids aN zA and a1 a6,101806,7,Roof Framing East Area 2 Office Grids aN zA and a1 a6,101806,9,First Floor Ceiling Area 3 Bridge Grids yA yE and a1 10x,101807,4,Link Floor Framing Area 3 Bridge Grids yA yE and a1 10x,101807,8,Link Roof Framing Area 3 Bridge Grids yA yE and a1 10x,101807,10,Bridge Catwalks Area 3 Bridge Grids yA yE and a1 10x,101807,13,Stair 1 </code></pre> <p>I need the output to be this:</p> <pre><code>Area 1 Chiller Grids aB aN and a1 a6,test,1-2-6-11,Ground Floor Framing-Monorails West-Roof Framing West-Bullnose West Area 2 Office Grids aN zA and a1 a6,101806,3-5-7-9,First Floor Framing East-Mezz Floor Framing-Roof Framing East-First Floor Ceiling Area 3 Bridge Grids yA yE and a1 10x,101807,4-8-10-13,Link Floor Framing-Link Roof Framing-Bridge Catwalks-Stair 1 </code></pre> <p>How can I go about this? I've tried some linq code I found on here but it doesn't quite get what I want and I'm not sure how to make it do it:</p> <pre><code> var a = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines(@"X:\Steelcad_Project_Files\" + dir + "\\manager1.txt"); var b = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines(@"X:\Steelcad_Project_Files\" + dir + "\\manager.txt"); var query = from bline in b let parts = bline.Split(',') group parts[2] by parts[0] into bg join aline in a on bg.Key equals aline select aline + "," + string.Join("-", bg.ToArray()); System.IO.File.WriteAllLines(@"X:\Steelcad_Project_Files\" + dir + "\\result.txt", query.ToArray()); </code></pre> <p>Where the manager1 file only has the first field in it, like so:</p> <pre><code>Area 1 Chiller Grids aB aN and a1 a6 Area 2 Office Grids aN zA and a1 a6 Area 3 Bridge Grids yA yE and a1 10x </code></pre> <p>I would like, if possible, to only use 1 file though. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks</p> <p>EDIT: Is it possible to sort the lines based on line 0 and then line 2? If it was 1-11-15-2-6 can it be rearranged to 1-2-6-11-15 but keeping all the Area 1's together etc?</p>

    1. COIt makes me wonder, why are you reading from 2 separate files when your question only mentions 1 input?

    3. COThen the example won't work for you. You clearly are reading from 1 file and merging the lines. I suspect what the example does is merge records from 1 file to the other, which isn't what you want. Some of the answers provided by others should work for you.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
