How to convert CSV to datatable?

Help

Hi expert,

I have a question how to convert csv string file to Datatable.
I was thinking I can achieve it with read text & generate data table method, but I could only separate first line and other… (Row separator"," and Line sep “vbcrlf”, anyway)

If somebody has sample code or suggestion, please let me know…

Best regards,
Jumbo,

Hi Jumbo,

Check the Generate Data Table activity. There you can set the Column Separator and New Line Separator.

If still is not clear, please upload your CSV file, or just a sample of it, to provide you a better example.

(UiPath forum does not allowed to attach text file, so please change this xaml file to csv as sample data. → SampleStockPrice.xaml (1.4 KB)
)

if you know something, please let me know.

Best regards,

Did you try Read CSV activity? If so, the result is the same as above? 5 lines in datatable?
