jslegers Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 Hello, I want to create a script that can read a csv file and use this data to create users in Active Directory with the tool dsadd. CSV file looks like this : ABeerens;Ans Beerens;Ans;Beerens;Welkom01 ABos;Annemiek Bos;Annemiek;Bos;Welkom01 ABraat;Ans Braat;Ans;Braat;Welkom01 Is it possible to create variables from the different pieces in the file. For example $Var1=ABeerens $Var2=Ans Beerens $Var3=Ans $Var4=Beerens $Var5=Welkom01 dsadd $Var1,Var2 .... Loop And so on. I want to create a loop until the end of the file is reached.
kaotkbliss Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 You could read the file to an array (_FileReadToArray) then loop through that array, splitting each record into smaller arrays with StringSplit In your example, you would have an array set up like _FileReadToArray("Whatever\file.csv",$csv) ;0=3 ;1=ABeerens;Ans Beerens;Ans;Beerens;Welkom01 ;2=ABos;Annemiek Bos;Annemiek;Bos;Welkom01 ;3=ABraat;Ans Braat;Ans;Braat;Welkom01 For $i=1 to Ubound($csv)-1 $record=StringSplit($csv[$i],";") ;0=5 ;1=ABeerens ;2=Ans Beerens ;3=Ans ;4=Beerens ;5=Welkom01 ;Then you can dsadd $csv[1], $csv[2] Next 010101000110100001101001011100110010000001101001011100110010000 001101101011110010010000001110011011010010110011100100001 My Android cat and mouse gamehttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.KaosVisions.WhiskersNSqueek We're gonna need another Timmy!
water Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 (edited) May I suggest to use the Active Directory UDF - function _AD_CreateUser - to add users? You can create a user in a different OU in one go and have better error handling. You can find the download link in my signature below.
