How to check column labels of CSV file before loading into import set table

[dhanu3]

We want to check csv column headers before loading into import set. We are loading file from RITM to data source and from data source we are loading the file.

For excel using parser and header column we can get details of header. But for CSV there is no such method to get header details.

Hi Pankaj,

Yes. I have used below script to read CSV file.

var gsa = new GlideSysAttachment();
var bytesInFile = gsa.getBytes('sys_data_source', dataSourceID); // Please enter data source sys id in dataSourceID
var originalContentsInFile = Packages.java.lang.String(bytesInFile); // originalContentsInFile
originalContentsInFile = String(originalContentsInFile);
var ar = [];
ar = originalContentsInFile.split(',');

ar will give you content of your file then using for loop and indexof you can read columns.
