Read CSV
UiPath.CSV.Activities.ReadCsvFile
Copies all entries from a specified CSV file to an Excel range, table, or sheet, or saves the data for later use in your automation.
In the body of the activity
-
Read from resource file - Click Plus on the right side of the field to toggle between using a local path or a Resource file. We recommend using relative folder paths to accommodate the file structure variations between Windows and Linux during project execution. For example,
newFolder
orotherFolder
. -
Output to - Represents the output DataTable that contains the information obtained from the CSV file.
- Has headers - If enabled, it indicates that the first row in the CSV file is a header row. If not selected, a header row is added. This option is selected by default.
Properties
Options
- Delimiter - Select the delimiter used in the CSV file: Tab, Comma(','), Semicolon(';'), Caret('^'), or Pipe('|').
- Encoding - Select the encoding type to be used. You can find the complete list of codes for each character encoding here. If no encoding type is specified, the activity will search for the file's Byte Order Marks to detect the encoding. If no Byte Order Marks are detected, the system ANSI code page is selected by default.
- IgnoreQuotes - Specifies if quotes should be ignored when reading the file.
In the body of the activity
-
Read from file - Click the folder icon next to the field, and then browse to and select the CSV file to copy the data from. Alternatively, you can click the Plus icon on the right side of the field and then, from the menu, choose one of the available options to indicate the path of the file:
- If the activity is inside a For Each File in Folder activity, you can select CurrentFile > Full Path to indicate the path of the file you are currently iterating through.
- Data from the Project Notebook, a parent Excel file or Outlook account. For example, you can select a cell that contains a file path.
- Text - Enter a file path in the Text Builder. You can combine text with a formula from an Excel file cell, for example to add a date to the file name using formulas in the Project Notebook.
- Ask when run - Prompt for a file path when the project is executed.
- Open in Advanced Editor - Enter a VB expression.
-
Output to - Click the Plus icon on the right side of the field and then, from the menu, select what to do with the copied data:
- Select a parent Excel file and then a range, table, or sheet, or indicate a range in Excel where to copy the data.
- Save for Later Use - Save the output data for later use in your project as input for another activity.
- Open in Advanced Editor - Enter a VB expression.
- Has headers - If selected, it indicates that the first row in the CSV file is a header row. If not selected, a header row is added. This option is selected by default.
